  • Add pasta back into the same pot. Add the butter and olive oil, and stir until the butter has melted.

  • 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. 
Pasta: 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.
