Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound (225 g / 7.9 oz) fine egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons (42 g / 1.48 oz) butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup (20 g / 0.71 oz) minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup (25 g / 0.88 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • For the best flavor and melting quality, use a block of Parmesan cheese and grate it yourself just before using.
  • To reheat leftovers, place them in a buttered baking dish, cover, and bake in a preheated 350°F / 175°C oven for 15 minutes. If the noodles look dry, sprinkle on a few drops of water to moisten them.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic for a gentle kick of heat.

Method
 

  1. Bring about 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Add the egg noodles and cook for about 5 minutes, or until just tender (al dente).
  3. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander.
  4. Immediately return the empty pot to the stove over medium heat.
  5. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 3 minutes until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant.
  6. Add the drained noodles and fresh parsley to the pot.
  7. Toss well to coat every strand in the delicious garlic butter.
  8. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Season with salt to your liking and give it one final toss.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  11. Reserve about 1/4 cup (960 ml) of the starchy pasta water before draining. You can add a splash to the sauce if it seems too dry to help it cling to the noodles.
