Buttered Noodles with Parmesan

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 Egg 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 Egg Noodles

This recipe could not be easier. All you do is cook the egg noodles, then toss them with butter, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley and a little S&P. 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.

For this Buttered Egg Noodles recipe, I recommend:

Here are some kitchen tools I suggest using to ensure this recipe turns out perfect:

  • Lodge 6-Quart Dutch Oven – This pot is super affordable and the quality is excellent. I love using it to make pasta, soup and chili.
  • Pyrex Glass Mixing Bowl Set (3-Piece) – This set is perfect for mixing up and serving side dishes like this. These bowls are also great for making salads and using in baking.

    Sometimes when I have a bad day, all I need is a big bowl of butter noodles and a good movie. And maybe wine. But seriously, you can never go wrong with butter noodles!!

    mmmm. these sound super comforting (: though i’m pretty sure my mom wouldn’t agree; there’s an infamous story of my brother, who was a toddler at the time, flinging $30 worth of buttered noodles around at a very nice restaurant in hawaii years ago. i might just have to make these for her for old times’ sake (;
