Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Soba noodles
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the soba noodles according to package instructions (typically 4-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine with the garlic. Allow the cream to gently warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
Add the chopped basil, parsley, and thyme to the cream sauce. Stir well and let simmer for another 2 minutes to infuse the herb flavors.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss the cooked soba noodles in the skillet to warm them up slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
Add the warm soba noodles directly into the skillet with the herb cream sauce. Gently toss to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped herbs or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
