Little Stars with Butter and Parmesan

• 1 cup (6 ounces) stelline (star-shaped pasta) or other small pasta shapes such as alphabets or riso
• 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
• Salt

1. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
2. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often to prevent the pasta from sticking together, about 8 minutes.
3. Drain.
4. In a large bowl, toss the freshly cooked hot pasta with 2 tablespoons of the cheese until the cheese coats the pasta completely.
5. Add the butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese.
6. Toss again to coat.
7. Season to taste with salt.
8. Spoon the pasta into small serving bowls and serve immediately.
