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.
