Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Penne

    In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    Add 2 cups of penne pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Drain the Pasta

    Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and set aside.

Preparing the Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

    In the same pot used for cooking the pasta, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Season the Butter

    Once the butter is melted, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

  3. 6

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the drained penne pasta back into the pot with the butter sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.

  4. 7

    Add Parmesan

    Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again to combine.
