Step 1

Fill a pot with water. Add in salt (we used 1 teaspoon). When it boils, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. Reserve half a cup of the pasta water, then drain the rest.

Step 2

In a pan, melt the butter and add in olive oil.

Step 3

Add the cooked pasta, the reserved water. Toss well. Reduce the heat to the lowest.

Step 4

Add the grated parmesan cheese gradually and black pepper, toss until the cheese melts and the pasta is coated well with it.Turn off the heat. Taste the pasta and sprinkle a little salt if you would like. You might not need it as parmesan is already a salty cheese.

Now add in chopped parsley.

Step 6

Sprinkle extra parmesan on the top when serving.
