Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 cup Pasta cooking water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
In a large skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the fresh sage leaves and toast them gently, stirring frequently, until crispy and aromatic (about 1-2 minutes). Remove the sage leaves and set them aside on a small plate.
Lower the heat and add the minced garlic to the butter in the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the butter and garlic. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the buttered noodles warm, garnished with the crispy sage leaves and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
