Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cream Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Sauce and Pasta

    Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

  4. 4

    Toss Together

    Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the cream sauce. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm as a side dish.
