Ingredients

• 400 grams Rigatoni pasta
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 150 milliliters Pasta cooking water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 150 milliliters of the pasta cooking water before draining.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved pasta cooking water, whisking gently to create a smooth, emulsified sauce.

Step 4

Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir continuously until it melts and blends into the sauce.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Toss the cooked rigatoni into the skillet, ensuring each piece is well coated in the creamy butter and cheese sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta and gently toss again to combine.

Step 8

Serve the Rigatoni Alla Burrina warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and a pinch of parsley, if desired.
