Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions (typically 6-8 minutes), until tender but not mushy.
While the noodles are cooking, place a medium skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter.
Allow the butter to melt completely, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir or swirl the butter continuously as it begins to foam and then turns golden-brown, about 3-5 minutes. You will notice a nutty aroma; this signals that the butter is browned. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to avoid burning.
Drain the cooked egg noodles and return them to the pot. Pour the browned butter over the noodles and gently toss to coat evenly.
Season the noodles with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the noodles to a serving dish or individual bowls. If desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious browned buttered egg noodles!
