Buttered pasta isn’t just for kids! Browning the butter first will elevate this pasta into an adult version of this classic dish!
Brown Butter Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 box penne pasta
- 1 stick butter
Notes
- Cook your pasta in heavily salted water
- While the pasta is cooking, add your butter into a sauce pot
- Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently (never leave this butter alone. As it gets close to being done, it will foam up on you, so keep a close eye on it always)
- Shortly after the butter foams, it will be done. As you whisk, you’ll see the butter turn to a deep golden color. Remove from heat.
For the Broccolini, I fill a saute pan with about 1/2 inch of water and boil the broccolini for 2-3 minutes. Then chop it up in bite sized pieces. Of course, you can use any vegetable that you like, or none at all.
