A delightful pasta dish featuring golden brown butter and crumbled cheese for a rich and satisfying meal.
Cook the egg pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.
Be careful not to burn the butter; remove it from heat as soon as it turns golden.
Place a third of the cooked pasta on a large serving platter and sprinkle with a third of the crumbled feta cheese.
Layering the pasta and cheese ensures even distribution of flavors.
Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining pasta and cheese.
Press gently on each layer to compact slightly for better presentation.
Drizzle the golden brown butter evenly over the layered pasta and cheese.
Use a spoon to distribute the butter evenly for consistent flavor.
Season the dish with freshly ground pepper and a pinch of salt to taste.
Taste before adding salt, as the cheese may already provide enough saltiness.
Serve the dish warm and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for a touch of color and freshness.
