Espagueti a la Mantequilla Recipe

I made this special Espagueti a la Mantequilla with vegetables as a delightful side dish to complement my various Pollo con Crema recipes. Combining the creamy sauce with the buttery, vegetable-infused spaghetti on the same plate is glorious. My Pollo con Crema variations include chipotle, poblano, rajas, and even bacon, and they all pair perfectly with this pasta. Plus, it’s super easy to make and a hit with kids!

Ingredients

1/2 package spaghetti
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
2 cups mixed vegetables (corn, carrots, green beans, peas) – canned or frozen
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Ingredient Tips

Vegetables: I always keep a large bag of frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans) from Costco. They’re handy for various recipes like tuna salad and Arroz con Vegetables.
Cheese: You can substitute Parmesan cheese with any melting cheese you prefer.
Butter: Adjust the amount of butter to taste. I keep it minimal since I often pair this spaghetti with creamy chicken recipes, but feel free to add more if you like.

How to Make Espagueti a la Mantequilla

Boil the Spaghetti: Start by boiling water in a large pot. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes or follow the package instructions until al dente.
Drain and Combine: Drain the spaghetti and return it to the pot. While still hot, add the butter, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is well combined.
Prepare the Vegetables: If using frozen vegetables, cover them with water and rinse to remove excess ice. Cook in hot water for five minutes, then drain. If using canned vegetables, simply drain them.
Mix Together: Add the cooked vegetables to the spaghetti and mix well.
Serve: Your Espagueti a la Primavera is ready to serve! Enjoy it as a perfect side dish.
