Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic to the browned butter. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the drained egg noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the butter.
Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently until the ingredients are well distributed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If desired, drizzle with a little olive oil for extra richness.
Transfer the egg noodles to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley or feta cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
