This dish is extremely easy, yet tastes
like you put a whole lot of effort into it!
Penne in Parmesan Cream Sauce
- 12 ounces mini or regular penne pasta
(or other pasta such as rotini or gemelli)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Cook pasta according to package directions,
preferably al dente (firm to the bite). Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan
until it starts to bubble and foam. Pour in cream and bring to
a boil. Add the cooked pasta, stirring to coat well; then stir
in the Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt
and pepper, as desired and serve.
Makes 8 servings.
Cook's Note: Since this is a cream-sauce
based dish, reheating will cause the sauce to "break",
meaning the butter and cream will separate. To fix this, simply
add a little milk to the mixture, stir to mix; heat (microwave)
and stir until its creamy again.
