Buttered Brussels Sprouts Penne

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup uncooked penne pasta (or pasta of choice)
  • 6 medium Brussels sprouts, sliced in half
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmesan

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions and set aside.

Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add olive oil and Brussels sprouts, sliced side down. Cook 3 minutes. Turn and cook one more minute.

Add butter, garlic, and spices. Cook 2 minutes stirring regularly. The butter will brown nicely and the garlic will get a little crisp.

Pour over the pasta and toss with shredded parmesan.
