Steps
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Stir in 1/2 tsp of salt. Add the pasta and cook till tender, but not soft (a little softer than al dente). Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse with cool water.
Place the empty pot back on the stove. Melt butter in the pot over medium. Add the cooked pasta back to the pot. Stir till the pasta is evenly coated with butter. Some people like to let the pasta “fry” in the butter a bit till it’s lightly browned.
Remove the buttered pasta from heat. Gently stir in the cheese till evenly mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I use a little less than ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper).
Serve hot.

Julie on 2020-12-13 (5 stars): My mom grandma and bubbie have always made this!! We use sour cream instead of butter👍🕎
Best comfort food!
Lynn on 2013-02-17 (4 stars): Add 4 chopped tomatoes, a handful of chopped fresh basil (or a little dried if fresh isnt available), 4 tablespoons of olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper and 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese to the box of cooked farfalle and you've got a tasty meal that's great served hot or cold!!
