  • 3
    In a smaller fry pan on low flame, add the 2 sticks of butter. Once melted add 1 tsp. of corn starch or arrowroot flour, once it is combined, add the cream and stir, bring to a very low simmer until thickened.

    Add your pasta to the hot salted water and cook until done. Fresh pasta takes only a few minutes to cook. The package will tell you how long.
