Chef's Notes
Brown butter waits for no one! Have your grated cheese and measured water staged and ready beside the stove before you even turn on the flame.
Pro Tip
Always grate your pecorino Romano fresh from a block. The pre-bagged stuff is coated in anti-caking powders that will turn your silky sauce into a grainy disaster.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You walked away from the skillet for ten seconds to check your phone, and your brown butter instantly morphed into black, bitter charcoal. Congratulations, you are now making bitter sadness instead of pasta.

Browning butter evaporates its water content and toasts the milk solids via the Maillard reaction, unlocking hundreds of brand-new, nutty flavor compounds.
