Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
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, usually about 8-10 minutes.
While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Drain the cooked noodles and add them directly to the skillet with the melted butter. Toss to coat the noodles evenly in the butter.
Sprinkle the poppy seeds over the noodles and mix well to ensure an even distribution.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Optional: Add the chopped parsley for a fresh touch and toss once more.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy!
