Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until tender.
While the noodles cook, place a small saucepan over low heat and melt the butter until bubbly.
Stir in the milk, salt, and ground black pepper into the melted butter. Heat the mixture gently, making sure it does not boil. Keep warm.
Once the noodles are cooked, drain them well in a colander.
Return the noodles to the pot and pour the warm butter and milk mixture over the noodles. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm.
