Ziti with Browned Butter Cream Sauce



This was probably one of the best things I have made in a long time. It's rich and full of flavor. It's like nothing you have ever tasted.

Ziti with Browned Butter Cream Sauce

12 oz. ziti pasta (any small shaped pasta will do)
1 stick salted butter
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup good quality grated Parmesan cheese (again..do not skimp on the quality of your cheese)
1 cup good quality grated Romano cheese (read above..lol!)
Salt (if desired) and ground white pepper, to taste

Cook ziti according to package instructions.

While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir butter frequently until it starts to turn a medium brown color then turn heat to low. The butter will brown fast, like 5 to 8 minutes. Add the cream and stir. Add the cheeses, a little at a time, stirring each time until smooth. Continue stirring until cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth. Add the salt and ground white pepper, to taste. I don't add extra salt but if you want to, you can.
Once the ziti is done, drain and immediately add to the pan with the sauce. Toss to combine. Serve and enjoy!!!
