Parmesan Butter Noodles
These Parmesan Butter Noodles are a one pot meal ready in 15 minutes or less! Buttery noodles with lots of parmesan cheese can be served as the main dish or as a tasty side.
Ingredients
- 16 oz angel hair pasta
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley, optional
Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water according to the package directions, until al dente. Drain cooked pasta, but do NOT rinse.
- Add pasta back into the same pot. Add the butter and olive oil, and stir until the butter has melted.
- Sprinkle the parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste, over the pasta. Toss till well combined.
- Serve immediately with a little extra parmesan and optional fresh parsley on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: These noodles are best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a little extra butter for best results.
- Minimum prep and cook time is FAST! Love this one pot side dish that is always a kid favorite.
- I add olive oil because we do not rinse the pasta, the olive oil helps keep the noodles from sticking together.
- You can also save a cup of the hot pasta water to help moisten the pasta if it gets to dry. I personally would just add more butter and olive oil 😊 Can you ever have enough butter?
- You can use whatever pasta you have on hand with this recipe, however our favorite is always a thinner noodle. We like angel hair the best, but thin spaghetti will also work well. We also like to do this with fine egg noodles.
