Garlic Butter Noodles Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by cooking shell pasta according to package directions. After draining, melted butter, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper are combined with the pasta until the cheeses melt and coat the noodles evenly. The melted butter and cheeses create a creamy sauce that clings to each shell.
The subtle garlic powder alongside fresh parsley creates a gentle garlic flavor without overpowering the cheese. The mozzarella adds a mild creaminess while Parmesan contributes a slight nutty saltiness. This results in comforting noodles with a buttery cheesy texture.
Garlic Butter Noodles can be served as a simple side dish alongside meat or vegetables. Adding 1-2 tablespoons of milk as suggested can thin the sauce and create a silkier consistency if desired.

- 1/8 tsp black pepper
