Single-Serve Garlic Parmesan Penne
Garlic Parmesan Penne Pasta for one, coming right up! Rich, buttery, and packed with savory garlic and sharp Parmesan, this quick single-serving dish gives you all the comfort of a classic Italian pasta bowl with half the calories and carbs thanks to Fiber Gourmet Light Penne.
When you need a quick, comforting meal just for yourself, this single-serve Garlic Parmesan Penne is the ultimate solution. Sautéed minced garlic creates a fragrant, savory base, while a splash of reserved starchy pasta water works with light butter and freshly shaved Parmesan to coat every penne tube in a silky, rich sauce—all in under 15 minutes!
3 oz Fiber Gourmet Light Penne
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp light butter
2 tbsp shaved Parmesan cheese
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Save the pasta water: Don't skip reserving that 1/2 tablespoon of pasta water! The starch helps emulsify the melted butter and Parmesan into a smooth, cohesive sauce rather than clumping.
Watch the garlic: Garlic burns quickly! Sauté it over medium heat just until fragrant (about 1 minute) before tossing in the rest of the ingredients.
Rinse for texture: Rinsing Fiber Gourmet pasta briefly after draining helps stop the cooking process so the penne maintains its perfect al dente bite.
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 3 oz of Fiber Gourmet Light Penne according to package instructions. Scoop out and reserve 1/2 tablespoon of the starchy pasta water, then drain and rinse the pasta.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute.
Reduce heat to low. Add the cooked penne, reserved pasta water, light butter, and shaved Parmesan cheese directly to the skillet. Stir continuously until the butter and cheese melt together to coat the pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the pasta to a bowl, sprinkle with dried parsley, and enjoy hot!
Absolutely! Simply double all the ingredients and use 1 tablespoon of reserved pasta water to make a 2-serving meal.
Yes! Freshly grated or shaved Parmesan melts smoothly into the warm pasta water and butter mixture.
Pasta water helps the sauce become smooth and creamy. Add it slowly so the sauce coats the rotini nicely without becoming too watery.
