Ingredients
- 8 oz egg noodles or pasta pappardelle, fettuccine, tagliatelle, spaghetti works
- 4 tablespoon salted butter
- ¼ cup pasta water
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
- ⅓ cup parmesan freshly grated from a block
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Once the water begins to boil, add a couple of generous pinch of salt to the water (I used about 1 tablespoon of salt). Add noodles(or pasta) and cook according to packet instructions.
- Cook pasta al-dente. Reserve ¼ to ¾ cup pasta water to be used later. Drain pasta.
- While pasta cooks in water, heat another pan side by side.
- Add salted butter to the pan. Add garlic powder and pepper. Give it a mix.
- Add cooked pasta to the pan. Pour pasta water.
- Grate parmesan cheese directly over hot pasta. Add in dried oregano, dried parsley, and fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
- Give it a good stir until cheese and pasta blends together.
- Serve hot with extra parmesan cheese grated on top, sprinkle red chili flakes and dried or fresh parsley. Enjoy.
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please remember that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- The quality of butter and parmesan cheese is crucial. Use good premium quality ingredients to make it best-tasting noodles. Cooking time for noodles will vary depending on the type. Add a generous amount of salt to boiling water before boiling pasta. The flavors are subtle, you want the dish to be seasoned perfectly in every step. Reserve pasta cooking water. Adding starchy pasta water will create a creamy sauce for the noodles. I always recommend you use freshly grated parmesan from block cheese over pre-grated cheese from a bag. For extra flavor, cook pasta in vegetable or chicken stock. You can use bouillon cubes in the water before cooking pasta. Taste after adding Parmesan cheese and adjust salt and seasoning according to your palate.
