Buttered Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoons kosher salt
• 12 ounces wide egg noodles
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley – finely chopped
• Parmesan cheese – finely grated (for serving)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot (about 4 quarts) of water to a boil over high heat and stir in the kosher salt until dissolved.
2. Add the egg noodles and cook until tender but still springy, 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally; drain well.
3. Return the empty pot to low heat, add the butter, and melt until fully liquid and just foamy, 1–2 minutes.
4. Return the noodles to the pot and toss until evenly coated and glossy, 30–60 seconds.
5. Off heat, season with the black pepper and fold in the parsley.
6. Serve immediately; top with Parmesan if using.
