Description

A delicious spaghetti dish with browned butter, cheeses, and fresh parsley.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces romano cheese
  • 4 ounces Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
  2. While the water is boiling and pasta is cooking, brown the butter. Slice the butter into tablespoons. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until the butter turns a light brown color and smells nutty and caramely. (Takes less than 10 minutes. Watch closely! Once it starts to brown it will brown quickly and can burn easily.)
  3. Place the spaghetti on a platter or in a large bowl or skillet. Sprinkle with cheeses, then drizzle with browned butter. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.
  4. Serve immediately and season with salt and pepper as desired.

Notes

  • Be careful not to burn the butter while browning.
