Warm Parsley and Parmesan Pasta

45 min
15 min prep
30 min cook

Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 4 Garlic cloves, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 17.5 oz Dried pasta
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil, plus more as needed for drizzling
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp Ground black pepper, plus more as needed
  • 1 cup Fresh Italian parsley, roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup Grana Padano cheese, plus more for garnishing pasta

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil then cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water for sauce.
  2. Drizzle a little olive oil over pasta to keep it from sticking while making sauce. Set aside.
  3. In a large non-stick pan or using the same pot used for the pasta, add olive oil and set over medium heat.
  4. Add garlic and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until it just starts to lightly brown.
  5. Add pasta water, butter, and pepper. Allow sauce to simmer before adding in cooked pasta, parsley and cheese. Remove from heat and toss to coat.
  6. Season to taste as needed and garnish with more cheese.
  7. Chef's Note: I like to fold in about 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon zest to this dish as soon as I turn off the heat to add a little depth of flavor.
