Garlic Butter Noodles is a simple and comforting pasta dish featuring tender egg noodles tossed in a fragrant garlic-infused butter sauce. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a delicious side, this recipe highlights the rich, savory flavors of garlic and butter with a hint of parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 16 oz egg noodles

Sauce

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, optional (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Boil Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook them until al dente following the package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Melt Butter and Cook Garlic: While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a separate pot or skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  3. Toss Noodles in Garlic Butter: Drain the cooked noodles well and add them to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss thoroughly to ensure the noodles are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
  4. Season: Add salt to taste, adjusting as needed, and optionally add freshly ground black pepper for enhanced flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve the garlic butter noodles hot, optionally topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese for an extra savory touch.

Notes

  • Do not overcook the noodles; al dente texture provides the best bite.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; garlic powder will not replicate the same aroma and taste.
  • You can add crushed red pepper flakes for some heat if desired.
  • Leftover noodles can be refrigerated and gently reheated with a splash of water or butter to maintain moisture.
