Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Remember to salt the water generously to add flavor to the pasta.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

  3. Add the mascarpone cheese to the skillet and stir until it melts and is well combined with the butter.

  4. Once the mascarpone cheese is melted, add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and continue stirring until the cheese is smooth and creamy.

  5. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that Parmesan is already salty, so be cautious with the amount of salt you add.

  6. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it well and add it directly to the skillet with the cheese sauce.

  7. Toss the pasta gently in the sauce until it is well coated. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to loosen it up.

  8. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the pasta and toss once more to distribute the basil evenly.

  9. Serve the Mascarpone Cheese and Pasta hot, garnished with additional basil leaves and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
