• 12 oz Egg noodles
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 2 tsp Poppy seeds
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil.

2. Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until tender but not mushy.

3. While the noodles are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

4. Once melted, stir in the poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 1 minute to toast the poppy seeds and infuse the butter with flavor.

5. Drain the cooked noodles in a colander, shaking off any excess water.

6. Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the butter and poppy seed mixture. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly in the buttery sauce.

7. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.

8. If using, sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and additional flavor.

9. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
