Ingredients

• 300 grams Soba noodles
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook the soba noodles according to package instructions (typically 4-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine with the garlic. Allow the cream to gently warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce becomes thick and creamy.

Step 5

Add the chopped basil, parsley, and thyme to the cream sauce. Stir well and let simmer for another 2 minutes to infuse the herb flavors.

Step 6

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss the cooked soba noodles in the skillet to warm them up slightly (about 1-2 minutes).

Step 8

Add the warm soba noodles directly into the skillet with the herb cream sauce. Gently toss to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped herbs or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan.
