SIMPLE PASTA WITH PARMESAN



Simple Pasta With Parmesan image

Another stupidly simple side dish made from pantry staples that my family asks for over and over. The savory combination of flavors goes well with many other foods. It can be made with freshly-cooked pasta or with leftover, cooked pasta that has no sauce on it. I've included options for some variations to create not-so-simple but extremely tasty side dishes or complete, one-dish meals by adding ingredients you probably have on hand.

Time 15m

1 lb pasta, cooked (any type)
3 -4 tablespoons butter or 3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
1/4-1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8-1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put pasta into a microwavable dish large enough to give you a little room for stirring and tossing.
  • Dot pasta with butter or drizzle with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan over top. Add plenty of fresh-ground, black pepper.
  • Heat in microwave on high 3 to 5 minute at a time, stirring frequently, until thoroughly hot.
  • Serve, passing the pepper grinder at the table.

Tips:

  • Use fresh snap peas. Fresh snap peas have a crisp texture and a sweet flavor that will shine through in the pasta dish.
  • Cook the snap peas briefly. Overcooking the snap peas will make them mushy. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that has a strong flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold its shape well in the dish.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked, while the pasta is still hot and the snap peas are still crisp.

Conclusion:

This Parmesan snap pea pasta is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is made with fresh snap peas, Parmesan cheese, and a simple sauce. The pasta is cooked in the same pot as the snap peas, which saves time and cleanup. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
