Equipment

Large colander

Ingredients

10 ounces extra-wide egg noodles
4 tablespoons unsalted butter plus more to taste
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly chopped Italian parsley plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese plus more as needed
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook noodles according to package directions in a pot of generously salted boiling water. Egg noodles usually take 8 to 10 minutes. Then, drain and run through cold water. Note: running the noodles through cold water stops the cooking process and ensures that they don’t get overcooked.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden brown.
To the garlic butter mixture, add the cooked noodles, parmesan cheese, and parsley. Stir to combine. If desired, add more parmesan and melted butter to taste.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with more parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Use dried extra-wide egg noodles.
Egg noodles cook in 8 to 10 minutes in generously salted boiling water until they are al dente, or to taste.
Storing: Refrigerate in a container for up to 3 days.
Make-ahead: Buttered noodles reheat nicely. Make 1 to 2 days ahead. Reheat over the stovetop with more melted butter, and finish with cheese and parsley.

Substitutions:

Egg noodles: rotini, farfalle.
Parsley: Use a few sprinkles of Italian seasoning or dried parsley flakes, to taste.
