Spaghetti with Butter
Makes 6 servings.

Ingredients

4 - quarts water, boiling

1 - teaspoon salt

1 - pound spaghetti

6 - tablespoons butter

2/3 - cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

• In a large pot, have the water at rolling boil.  Add the salt.  

• Put spaghetti in whole; it will sink slowly into the water.  

• When it is almost down, give it a good while in the water to make sure all the strands are separated.  

• Cook 15 minutes and stir again.  Then test for doneness.

• Drain spaghetti in colander and run cold water through spaghetti briefly.  Drain again and return to pot.  

• Put over low heat to evaporate any remaining water.

• Add the butter and Parmesan cheese and toss.
