Parmesan Herbed Noodles
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Total Time: 20 minutes | Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta water
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Before draining, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water. Drain and set aside.
- Build the herb butter. In the same pot or a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1—2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the herbs. Stir in thyme, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds until the herbs bloom in the butter.
- Toss the noodles. Return the drained noodles to the pot. Add the reserved pasta water a little at a time, tossing to coat the noodles evenly in the herb butter.
- Finish with Parmesan. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve. Dish into bowls and top with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
