Ingredients
Ingredients
- 12 ounces egg noodles
- 3/4 cup (12 tablespoons) salted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Cook the 12 ounces of egg noodles according to the package directions until tender.
- Drain and Prepare: Drain the noodles thoroughly and immediately return them to the pot while they are still a little wet to help the butter adhere better.
- Add Seasonings and Butter: Add the 12 tablespoons of salted butter, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the noodles. Stir well to combine everything evenly.
- Serve and Stir: Before serving each portion, stir the noodles thoroughly to redistribute the butter and seasonings for maximum flavor.
- Optional Garnish: For a touch of color and freshness, sprinkle some dried parsley flakes on top before serving.
Notes
- Use salted butter to ensure the right balance of saltiness in the dish.
- Adjust garlic powder to taste if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.
- Adding dried parsley flakes enhances presentation and adds a mild herb taste.
- Be careful not to overcook noodles; slightly undercooked noodles work best to hold the buttery sauce.
- This recipe is best served immediately while the butter is evenly melted and coats the noodles smoothly.
