Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the spaghetti in generously salted water until al dente, about 9 minutes.

  2. 2

    Scoop out 1 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the noodles.

  3. 3

    Return the pot to low heat, melt the butter, and add the spaghetti with a splash of pasta water.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle in the Parmesan a little at a time, tossing constantly so it melts into a light glossy sauce.

  5. 5

    Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, adding more pasta water if the noodles look dry, and serve immediately.
