## Equipment

## Tips

- Use French butter (high-fat, cultured, demi-sel/slightly salted).
- Use bronze die-cut pasta for a rough surface that releases more starch and clings better to sauce.
- Cook pasta pre-al dente (2 minutes less than package instructions).
- Grate Parmesan really fine for easy melting into the butter.
- Use a pan with high, curved walls to help in tossing and creating the emulsion.
