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.
