Why You’ll Love This Buttered Noodles with Parmesan Recipe

It’s a good idea to have a bunch of side dishes in your back pocket. That way, when you have decided on what you’re going to serve as your main, you don’t really have to think too hard about your side.

Buttered Noodles with Parmesan is a simple pasta side dish that reminds us that food doesn’t have to be complicated to taste wonderful. I love serving buttered noodles with grilled steak or roast chicken alongside some steamed vegetables for a filling, balanced meal.

How to Make Buttered Noodles with Parmesan

This buttered noodles with parmesan recipe could not be easier. All you have to do is cook your egg noodles, then toss them with butter, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and a little salt and pepper.

I also like to add a splash of salty and starchy pasta water to the noodles, to add a bit more flavor and to loosen everything up. If you forget to reserve some of the water before draining off your pasta, it isn’t a big deal. Your buttered noodles will still turn out fine without it.

Does Pasta Make You Gain Weight?

From a nutritional standpoint, no single food alone has the ability to make you gain weight. However, pasta dishes do have a high calorie content, as they contain an average of nearly 250 calories for per cup.

Therefore, if you frequently eat pasta, you will have to be more mindful of your serving sizes. You shouldn’t have more than two servings per meal (half a cup of cooked pasta is equivalent to one serving of grains). And whenever you can, choose whole grain pasta and serve it with a side of steamed vegetables or salad, to increase your fiber intake and to feel more satiated.
