A creamy and flavorful pasta dish that's quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Salting the water enhances the pasta's flavor.
Cook the penne in the boiling water until al dente.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Drain the cooked pasta and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
In a saucepan, combine the light sour cream and grated parmesan cheese over low heat.
Stir constantly to prevent the cheese from clumping.
Season the sauce with freshly ground pepper and additional salt if needed.
Taste the sauce before adding salt to avoid over-seasoning.
Toss the cooked penne with the hot sauce in a large serving platter.
Mix thoroughly to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Serve the pasta warm, garnished with extra parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
