Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat butter spread
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.
While the noodles are cooking, melt the reduced-fat butter spread in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until slightly reduced.
Drain the cooked noodles and add them directly into the skillet. Toss the noodles to evenly coat them with the broth and butter mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is well incorporated and melted.
Season the noodles with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the noodles.
Toss once more to combine all the ingredients. Serve the noodles warm.
