Elevated Buttered Noodles Recipe

October 4, 2022 /

We are taking butter noodles to a whole new level with this recipe. My Simple Buttered Noodles is sure to be your go to, busy weeknight meal because it comes together in less than 15 minutes and has 3 ingredients.

I made this dish in my new Caraway Sauté Pan and I felt like a 5 star chef. Haha. Not only are they gorgeous, but they are 100 % non toxic which is really important to me. It comes in a set of 4 and even has dividers and lid organizers. Get a set for yourself HERE & you’ll see, you can save money using my link until 10/24.

My butter noodles came out literal PERFECTION while using the pans, like seriously the sauce is so creamy, it will become your new favorite dish!

Ingredients:

  • 1lb. Spaghetti, Lingini, or Fettuccine
  • 6-7 tbls. Grass-Fed Pure Butter
  • 2 cups super finely grated Parmesan cheese (do not buy the pre-grated packaged kind)
  • 1/2 cup salty/starchy cooking water from your pasta

Instructions:

  1. Heat water in a pot until it comes to a rapid boil
  2. Cut up butter & grate cheese
  3. Once boiling, Add a handful of salt to the water
    *Note: The water must be at a rapid boil or the salt will scar the bottom of your pot*
  4. Drop in pasta and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions
  5. In a sauté pan, on medium-low heat, drop in butter
  6. When pasta is done, use a coffee mug or measuring cup with handle to reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water
  7. Use tongs to transfer cooked pasta from pot to sauce pan.
    *Note: It’s fine if more water is getting in the pan. This will help emulsify the sauce.*
  8. Add in half of the cheese
  9. Use a wooden spoon to vigorously incorporate the pasta, butter, cheese
  10. At this point, start to add splashes of the pasta water from the mug and continue stirring
  11. Keep stirring until all ingredients have some together and your desired consistency has been achieved
  12. Top with the rest of the cheese and enjoy!

Tips:

  • You must heavily salt your roiling boiling water right before you drop your pasta in
  • Make sure to finely grate your block of good quality Parmesan cheese. If you don’t, the cheese will not melt properly and the sauce consistency will be off

Then you can make this super easy yummy meal complete with a salad and your favorite glass of wine! Your dinner will be ready to be enjoyed by the whole family & you deserve that glass of wine or two (I won’t tell, haha).
