1
Boil Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Cook Penne Pasta
Add the 2 cups of penne pasta to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 10-12 minutes, until al dente.
3
Drain Pasta
Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

4
Melt Butter
In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
5
Add Marinara Sauce
Once the butter has melted, add 1 cup of marinara sauce to the pot. Stir well to combine with the butter.

6
Mix Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained penne pasta back into the pot with the melted butter and marinara sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
7
Serve
Spoon the pasta onto plates and serve with your choice of side.
