Grown Up Buttered Noodles: Garlicky Brown Butter Parmesan Noodles
Do you have a go-to nostalgic kid food? That food that you’d always eat even after a serious food strike? The one your parents would give into just so they were sure you didn’t die from lack of calories, forget about nutrition? For me it was plain white rice. No soy sauce, no seasoning, no anything but delicious plain white rice.
This is a little updated version of those buttered noodles, made just a touch more grown up with nutty toasty browned butter, garlic, and a generous amount of parm. They’re super comforting and so easy to make. My husband said it was the best bowl of noodles I’ve ever made and you better believe that it’s going in our weekly rotation since fall. I don’t know what’s cozier than cuddling up on the couch with warm bowls of buttered noodles.
- 6 ounces pasta of choice I used bucatini
- 5 tbsp butter divided
- 4 cloves garlic crushed or minced
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
