Ingredients

12 ounces wide egg noodles
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest, optional

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and salt generously. Add the noodles and cook until they are tender but not mushy.

Meanwhile, ladle 1/4 cup of the noodle cooking water into a medium skillet. Set the skillet over low heat and, while whisking constantly, gradually add the butter, piece by piece, (let each piece of butter melt into the sauce before adding the next bit) until a smooth sauce has formed. Stir in the parsley and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the lemon zest, if desired.

Drain the noodles in a colander set in the sink and leave whatever water clings to them, do not rinse. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl, add the sauce, and toss well. Serve.

Meh it was ok
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was a very easy recipe to make the only thing, I couldn't figure out what to put with it...so my family had it by... itself...my father described it as "buttered noodles....it was good but it could have been better". I don't think that it was the recipe just that there was nothing else to it. I will make it again though!Read more

Mild, but tasty staple pasta recipe.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I often use this recipe as a way to make a rich mildly creamy pasta sauce in five minutes. It works just as well without... parsley (if I don't have it on hand) and with less butter. The kids (who prefer milder flavors) slurp up the noodles with a big smile.Read more

Comfort food
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This receipt brings back childhood memories. You can also add cream cheese, cottage cheese and perhaps a little chives or... other herb. Yummmm! It's plain and simple, but on a cold day it is very comforting. Just curle up before the fireplace or TV and enjoy!Read more
