The so-called “Maccheroni” al Burro are inspired by the film 'An American in Rome' in which Alberto Sordi eats a plate of somewhat bland spaghetti.
Spaghetti with Butter and Parmesan is a special recipe: to make it, choose a 36-month-aged Parmesan, which binds wonderfully when stirred, crunch the butter, add a little cooking water and remember: "You provoked me, maccarone, and now I'll eat you"!
Recipe by Alessandro Borghese Kitchen Sound
Ingredients for 4 people- 400g of Spaghetti
- 200 g of Alpine Butter
- Grated Parmesan cheese aged 36 months
- Ground pepper
- Salt
Bring the water to a boil and add salt.
Add the spaghetti and, meanwhile, melt the butter in small pieces in a pan over low heat. Be careful not to burn it, and let it slowly turn a light hazelnut brown.
Stop the cooking with a little pasta water.
Drain the spaghetti while still al dente and toss it in the pan with the butter, Parmesan cheese, and a glass of the cooking water.
Using a ladle and tongs, create a nest and serve on a plate with a sprinkling of pepper and Parmesan cheese.
