No reviews

A simple yet nostalgic dish of buttered noodles with fresh herbs, perfect for late-night cravings.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Egg Noodles or Spaghetti
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Herbs (parsley, basil, chives), chopped
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Season generously with salt.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Add your choice of noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Sauté Garlic: In a skillet over medium heat, melt unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
  4. Toss the Noodles: Once your noodles are cooked and drained, add them directly to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Toss to coat.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs: Off the heat, mix in freshly chopped herbs and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. If desired, fold in Parmesan cheese.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve hot, garnished with extra herbs and cheese if desired.

Notes

Feel free to substitute noodles with gluten-free pasta or butter with olive oil. Add vegetables for extra nutrition.
