Growing up, one of my favorite dishes on the planet was a dish my Granny introduced me to. I think the first time she made it for me she was trying to cheer me up....and it worked. She "whipped up" the most amazing pasta. Just noodles with a ton of butter, seasoned breadcrumbs and parmesean cheese. Voila. I was in love. I think I ate my pasta like that...and only like that for YEARS. As a mom, I introduced the delicacy to my kids...and they adore it.
This year we are trying to eat better, and I'm even trying to eat a Gluten free diet. (Greg and Jessica - that's for you.) So, I've been experimenting with pastas. Corn and Quinoa are my favorite so far. Last night I decided to make pasta, and was out of pasta sauce. So, I gave my old favorite a shot. Instead of breadcrumbs....I added a little extra salt and pepper. It was AMAZING. Seriously, I was standing over the stove just picking pieces out of the pot. (Surely not the best etiquette)
Here is the super simple and yummy recipe:
A little pinot grigio to go with it and I was very happy.
Let me know if you give it a try!
All the best to you

Here is the super simple and yummy recipe:
- One package of Trader Joe's corn penne pasta
- 1.5 TBSP of butter (decadent, I know)
- Fresh shaved parmesean cheese (as much or as little as you like), I happen to like a lot
- Generous salt and pepper
A little pinot grigio to go with it and I was very happy.
Let me know if you give it a try!
