Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 40 min

Step 1:
How to make cheese cones? Prepare the products. Choose pasta from durum wheat. Cheese and butter are of good quality, without vegetable fats in the composition. Any hard, semi-hard, soft cheese will do, as long as it melts well.
Step 2:
Boil 2.5 liters of water in a saucepan. The amount of water is calculated from the amount of pasta in the ratio of 1 liter per 100 g of pasta. If there is less water, the pasta can quickly boil or stick together. Pour salt and horns into boiling water. For the first 5 minutes, the pasta should be stirred periodically so that the pasta does not stick to the bottom. Cook the cones according to the instructions on the package. I have it for 10 minutes, but I cooked 9, to the state of al dente — slightly undercooked.
Step 3:
While the pasta is cooking, grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 4:
Put the pasta in a colander and let all the water drain. Shake the colander a couple of times to remove all excess moisture from the pasta.
Step 5:
Return the horns to the pan in which they were cooked. Add the butter and stir the pasta so that the butter spreads all over the pasta. To speed up the process, you can pre-melt the butter over low heat or in the microwave. If you do not have butter at hand, you can pour 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 6:
Pour grated cheese into the pasta.
Step 7:
Quickly mix the cheese with the pasta.
Step 8:
Put the finished pasta on plates immediately and sprinkle with herbs. Serve hot. Enjoy your meal!

According to this recipe, you can cook any pasta, not just horns.
If there is a little pasta left in the pan, be sure to cover them with a lid — unfortunately, the pasta gets wet and hardens quickly enough. When reheated, it loses its bright taste properties. Therefore, it is better to prepare pasta immediately before use.
If you still plan to leave some pasta the next day, then do not add cheese to them. It is better to pour cheese right before use.

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.
