Better Buttered Noodles (from Community) Recipe (with Video)

1. Start by bringing an oval-shaped dutch oven of slightly salted water to a boil and then add the high-end pasta. **Use less water than usual to make sure the water is extra starchy.
2. Once the pasta is done, reserve the required water *and then* drain the pasta. Return it to the warm pot and do not rinse.
3. Add the gourmet butter, half of your reserved pasta water, and a generous pinch of kosher salt.
4. Give it all a rigorous stir until everything is completely dissolved and mixed together. Add more water if needed.
5. Top with additional salt and pepper, to taste.
