Pasta with butter

You cannot believe it but butter tastes diffently in Italy. I think it is lighter here
in the US. However you can make a successful pasta with butter anywhere. What you need is butter, olive oil and parmesan cheese.
In Italy we use to eat it when we are stomach sick or we just want to eat lighter. My mom used to call it "pastina in bianco", that means "pasta in white sauce or pratically with no sauce".

Preparation time: 15 min


1) Put some water to boil in a pot and add 1 teaspoon of salt

2) Add short pasta (tubettini)
to the boiling water

3) Let it cook for 5 minutes

4) Drain the pasta
saving some of its cooking water

5) Add a quater of butter per person and stir in the pasta

6) Add a bunch of parmesan cheese and a teaspoon of olive oil.

Variations: very easy to make also as a side dish or adjusting the amount of water in the pasta you can make a sort of soupy pasta.

Buon Appetito!
