Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 4 quarts water
Instructions
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the noodles.
Add 12 ounces of egg noodles to the boiling water. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 6-8 minutes, until the noodles are tender but still hold their shape.
While the noodles are cooking, finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and grate 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Set both aside for later use.
Once the noodles are cooked, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the noodles in a colander.
Return the pot to the stove over low heat. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pot and let it melt completely.
Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper into the melted butter. Mix until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the cooked noodles back to the pot along with the reserved pasta water. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly in the butter mixture.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until combined and the cheese has melted.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with a pinch more salt or pepper.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or parsley, if desired.
