Parmesan Buttered Noodles Recipe
Description
This recipe prepares fettuccine noodles until just tender, then drains them while reserving some cooking water. Butter is melted gently in the warm pot, and the cooked pasta is tossed in it to absorb the richness. Grated Parmesan cheese adds a sharp, salty nuance, while small amounts of the starchy pasta water loosen the mixture into a creamy coating rather than a dry topping. Black pepper and kosher salt season the noodles to bring out the flavors, and fresh chopped parsley adds herbaceous brightness for contrast.
The resulting dish is warm, buttery, cheesy, and satisfying, with the noodles coated evenly by the sauce. Serving them immediately preserves the creamy texture and heat. This straightforward meal suits a quick lunch or side dish for various main courses.

- 8 ounces fettuccine noodles
