kosher salt, to taste
8 oz dried spathetti
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
flaky sea salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts to boil, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti through a colander.
