Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Reserve 0.5 cup pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  3. Step 3

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter until foaming.

  4. Step 4

    Add drained pasta, both cheeses, and 0.25 cup reserved pasta water. Toss until cheeses melt and coat the pasta, about 2 minutes.
