    1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles, stirring occasionally, until 1 minute less than al dente according to package directions. Drain; reserve 1 cup pasta water. Add butter to noodles and toss to combine.

Bring to a simmer and cook, adding 1/2 to 1 cup pasta water, until cheese is melted and desired consistency is reached, about 1 minute; season with salt, if needed.
