Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. About 6 quarts. Add 3 tablespoons of kosher salt. Add pasta and cook until al dente directions.
- In the meantime make the brown butter. In a large sauce pan heat butter on medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter separates and little brown specks form and the top begins to froth. Turn heat to low and add basil leaves and parmigiano cheese. Heat for on additional minute. Stir to combine and turn off heat.

Notes
- Since butter is the highlight of the show when you are making browned butter I recommend buying good quality butter with high-fat content.
