Easy Buttered Noodles

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound egg noodles
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Set a large pot over high heat and bring 2 quarts of water plus 1 Tbsp kosher salt to a boil. Drop in the egg noodles and cook them for 5 minutes. Scoop out 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the noodles.
  2. Transfer the hot drained noodles to a large bowl. Add the butter and Parmesan, then toss until the butter is fully melted. Mix in 1 tablespoon or 2 of the reserved pasta water, then fold in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
