Ingredients

• 12 ounces gluten-free fettuccine noodles
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free fettuccine noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

While the noodles are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a large pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted, stir in the salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Drain the cooked noodles, reserving half a cup of pasta water.

Step 6

Add the drained noodles to the butter mixture in the pan and toss to coat the noodles evenly. If the noodles seem too dry, add a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water until reaching the desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and noodles are well coated in a creamy sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the noodles.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free buttered noodles immediately, with additional Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
