Made with penne and the parmesan, this is a meal in a pinch for me, needing maybe just a slice of toasted bread rubbed with garlic. Made with curly egg noodles, this is an ideal side for anything from a piece of a cooked turkey to a thick beef stew.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups egg noodles or penne
salt
1 tablespoon butter
flat leaf parsley
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (optional)

Directions

1
Bring a pot of water to a boil. For this amount of pasta I would boil at least 2 quarts of water. When the water is boiling, add at least a tablespoon of salt and stir to dissolve.
2
Add the noodles to the boiling water. For the egg noodles, cook 5 minutes from the time the water comes back to a boil; for the penne, cook 8 minutes.
3
While the pasta is cooking, cut the butter into small bits, and chop the parsley.
4
Drain the pasta well, and transfer immediately to a large serving bowl. Toss with the butter (and optional parmesan).
5
Sprinkle with the parsley, and grind on lots of black pepper.

Simple and delicious, that's what they are. My wife and I love pasta and we wanted something simple, so this fit the bill. The flavor was good and we simply enjoyed! Thanks for sharing Dividend! Don

This was so easy to make and the kids gobbled it up. Usually I would just make the pasta add a swirl of olive oil, pepper, and course sea salt. I thought I'd give them something different my oldest kept asking why his noodles taste so much better than usual. We had this with Slow Cook Down Home Pork Chops and Gravy Thanks for posting!

Simple and perfect. Fresh parsley really does give it a little extra something.

Very good and a kid pleaser, made to go with Baked Chicken Supreme. Made with small Brillo penne also added some garlic powder and a pinch of sugar. My kids loved it. Thank you.
