Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 4 quarts water

Directions

Step 1

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to enhance the flavor of the noodles.

Step 2

Add 12 ounces of egg noodles to the boiling water. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 6-8 minutes, until the noodles are tender but still hold their shape.

Step 3

While the noodles are cooking, finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and grate 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Set both aside for later use.

Step 4

Once the noodles are cooked, reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the noodles in a colander.

Step 5

Return the pot to the stove over low heat. Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pot and let it melt completely.

Step 6

Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper into the melted butter. Mix until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Add the cooked noodles back to the pot along with the reserved pasta water. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly in the butter mixture.

Step 8

Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until combined and the cheese has melted.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with a pinch more salt or pepper.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese or parsley, if desired.
