Steps:
- Fill a large pot with plenty of cold water, about 3/4 capacity and bring to a boil over high heat. When at a boil, add in the pasta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 to 2 teaspoons oil. Stir pasta continuously until the water returns to a boil. Boil pasta according to packaging, or your preference, stirring occasionally.
- Drain pasta well in colander. Wipe the pot dry with a paper towel and then add in the butter. Melt the butter over high heat until frothy, and until its color has turned to an amber golden brown color, but not dark brown or black.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add in the drained pasta, and then quickly toss it well, as to prevent the pasta from sticking to the pot, coating pasta evenly with butter. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, crushed basil, oregano and grated cheese of choice. Add salt and pepper according to taste and toss well again.
- Transfer to serving bowl and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley (optional) and serve.

PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER AND PARMESAN
Sometimes you just want a big bowl of pasta with butter and Parmesan. Starchy, silky and salty, it's always good - and practically foolproof. To make it a little more grown up, just take it one step further: Brown the butter. When you slide the butter into the skillet, let it cook until the milk solids turn a toasty brown. It adds a rich, nutty flavor that makes the dish a bit more sophisticated with very little extra work.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta, but don't shake it fully dry.
- In a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold the pasta (and preferably with a light-colored bottom so you can see the butter solids brown), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn. If it does, start over.) Remove from heat immediately.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the brown butter. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta is glossy with sauce (you probably won't need the full 1/2 cup).
- Serve with black pepper and more Parmesan on top.

PASTA WITH BUTTER, SAGE AND PARMESAN
Like many simple sauces, this one takes less time to prepare than the pasta itself. Fresh, fragrant sage is my choice of herb here, but substitutions abound. Try parsley, thyme, chervil or other green herbs in its place. Or cook minced shallot or onion in the butter until translucent. You may even toast bread crumbs or chopped nuts in the butter, just until they're lightly browned. In any case, finish the sauce with a sprinkling of Parmesan, which not only adds its distinctive sharpness, but also thickens the mixture even further.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil; salt it. Cook pasta until it is tender, but not quite done.
- Meanwhile, place butter in a skillet or saucepan large enough to hold the cooked pasta; turn heat to medium, and add sage. Cook until butter turns nut-brown and sage shrivels, then turn heat to a minimum.
- When the pasta is just about done, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Drain the pasta. Immediately add it to the butter-sage mixture, and raise heat to medium. Add 3/4 cup of the water, and stir; the mixture will be loose and a little soupy. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until some of the water is absorbed and the pasta is perfectly done.
- Stir in cheese; the sauce will become creamy. Thin it with a little more water if necessary. Season liberally with pepper and salt to taste, and serve immediately, passing more cheese at the table if you like.

Tips:
- Use a variety of pastas. Different pastas have different textures and flavors, so experiment to find your favorites. Some good options include spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine, and penne.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta is mushy and bland.
- Use a generous amount of butter. Burnt butter sauce is all about the butter, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A good rule of thumb is to use 1/2 cup of butter for every pound of pasta.
- Cook the butter until it is brown and nutty. This is what gives the sauce its rich flavor. Keep a close eye on the butter so that it doesn't burn.
- Add some aromatics to the butter. This could include garlic, shallots, onions, or herbs. Aromatics will help to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices, such as red pepper flakes or oregano.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Burnt butter sauce is best when it is fresh and hot. Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Burnt butter sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used on a variety of pastas. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a burnt butter sauce that will impress your friends and family.
