If you're hankering for some sketti try the browned butter and grated
parmesan cheese recipe. Verrrrrry good, or at least I think it is.

I think you'll like it and the butter being browned just adds that little
extra something. Go as brown as you think you'd like. If your eyes are
larger than your stomach and you have leftovers due to increasing the
amount of butter, sketti, and parmesan cheese, it's pretty darn good the
next day warmed over.

Browned butter has a better taste. I always use that with fried
eggs and other butter cooked things. Just stand there and watch
it though. In a hot pan, butter will melt and turn to brown very
quickly. Easy to burn if you don't pay attention. Only takes a
few seconds in a hot pan.

Seems to me I had gnocchi in browned butter at an Italian restaurant
many years ago. I don't recall if it was potato gnocchi or maybe
gnocchi made from the pulp of some type of winter squash. Could be I'm
just remembering a recipe for it in a cookbook. There definitely was
browned butter involved but I didn't personally brown the butter.

Thank you - that looks lovely. I've had a hankering lately for
fettuccini alfredo with shrimp, but I always find the alfredo "sauce"
a pain in the butt to make. This sounds a lot easier.

Always an argument but supposedly a true white pizza has no
sauce. It just means no red sauce. I use no weird white sauce.
Doesn't need it. Many recipes do actually make a white sauce
though, might be fine.
