PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER AND PARMESAN



Pasta With Brown Butter and Parmesan image

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.

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, pastas, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or other long noodle
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

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 CREAMY HERB SAUCE



Pasta With Creamy Herb Sauce image

This cozy pasta is the perfect place to use up any hard-stem herbs like sage, thyme or rosemary that are languishing in your fridge. Add the herbs and a cinnamon stick to a pot of heavy cream. As they bubble together, the cream takes on a surprising but subtle herbaceousness. Use it to sauce pasta noodles and winter greens. If you don't have the herbs listed, leave them out or swap in marjoram or bay leaves, or even dried chile, lemon peel, garlic, shallot or leeks. The method of infusing cream with flavorings, then using it to sauce pasta, is open to adaptation.

Categories     weeknight, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 sage leaves
3 sprigs thyme or oregano
1 small rosemary sprig
1 cinnamon stick (or a grating of nutmeg)
Black pepper
1 pound linguine, fettuccine or another long noodle
1 bunch dark leafy greens, such as kale, mustard greens, broccoli rabe or mature spinach, stems removed and cut or torn into 2- to 3-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, sage, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium and cook until the cream has thickened slightly and is reduced to about 1 cup, 12 to 15 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. Remove from heat until the pasta's ready.
  • When the cream is at the halfway point, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until a minute or 2 shy of al dente. About 3 minutes before draining the pasta, add the greens to the water. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta and greens with a colander and return to the pot.
  • Place the just-used colander over the pot of pasta, then strain the infused cream through the colander into the noodles. (Discard or compost the herbs and cinnamon stick.) Add the 1/2 cup pasta water to the pasta, set over medium-high heat, and cook, tossing, until the sauce glosses the noodles, 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta. Short, sturdy pastas like penne, rotini, or fusilli are ideal for holding the herb butter.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Make the herb butter ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Use fresh herbs. Dried herbs can be used, but they will not have as much flavor as fresh herbs.
  • Be generous with the herb butter. A little bit goes a long way, but don't be afraid to add more if you like.
  • Serve immediately. Pasta with herb butter is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Pasta with herb butter is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pasta with herb butter a try.
