HERBED SPAGHETTI WITH BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Return pasta to pot.
• Stir in butter, lemon zest, juice, and herbs; season with salt and pepper. Add some of the reserved pasta water to adjust consistency, if needed. Serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add a good amount of salt. Taste the water, it should taste salty, almost like sea/ocean water. Then add the spaghetti.
• Cook until al dente, not too hard, though (if you use a good quality pasta it won't get mushy).
• Use a pasta fork and remove the pasta from the water and place directly into two plates. Top with butter and mix until well-coated.

FETTUCCINE WITH GARLIC HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 teaspoon butter. Add garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until garlic begins to turn golden.
• In a small bowl, combine parsley, basil, marjoram, thyme, 1 tablespoon butter, salt and ground black pepper with cooked garlic; mix well. Toss with pasta and serve.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.
• Add salt and spaghetti.
• Cook for 12-14 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare the sauce: First, remove any thick or woody stems from the herbs and discard.
• Chop herbs finely- you should end up with about 3/4 cup of chopped herbs (a little more or less won't matter).
• Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over a medium heat.
• Add garlic and cook until just beginning to colour.
• Remove saucepan from heat immediately.
• With the saucepan off the heat, add cream, butter, lemon rind and juice, herbs, salt and pepper and stir to mix well.
• When the spaghetti is cooked to your liking, drain it well then add the drained spaghetti to the saucepan (the one with the sauce in it).
• Return this saucepan to a low-medium heat and toss with two forks to combine the spaghetti with the sauce.
• Cook gently for a minute or two until the sauce begins to thicken and most, but not all, of it has been taken up by the spaghetti.
• Serve in bowls, drizzling over any remaining sauce.
• Top with parmesan cheese.
• Serve immediately.
• Serve as is or with a crisp green salad and a nice cold glass of dry white wine!
