Easy Black Pepper & Parmesan Pasta

1. 1

   Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Remember to salt the water when cooking it. It's important to not overcook your pasta.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, add the olive oil and the butter to a small pot or pan and cook it over low to medium low heat. You just want to melt the butter and warm it. With your peppermill set to fine, grind lots of pepper into the melted butter and olive oil. Turn off the heat or keep on very low heat. Once the pasta is done, drain it. You don't want to drain all the water though. Keep the pasta a little moist and don't shake off all the water. Put the pasta back in the pot you cooked it in and toss with the reserved melted butter, pepper and olive oil sauce. Serve in a large bowl. Drizzle more olive oil and grind more pepper on top. Pass the Parmesan for adding at the table. Enjoy!
