4 cups of uncooked penne pasta
1/4 cup of minced garlic
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup of shredded fresh Parmesan cheese
1 cup of cubed cooked chicken or sausage (like kielbasa or chorizo)
2 teaspoons of chopped parsley

Cook the penne until al dente (clear). Remove from boiling water and immediately cool in ice water. Toss pasta in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Ten minutes before serving, in a large sauté pan, toss olive oil in garlic for two minutes. Add meat and cheese and sauté for one minute.

Add pasta and parsley and toss until cheese is melted and coats pasta.

Serve 4.
