Description

Buttered noodles made with fettuccine, butter, and Parmesan cheese offer a quick, simple, and flavorful pasta dish. Perfect for a kid-friendly meal or as a versatile side to steak, chicken, or meatballs, this recipe combines basic ingredients with easy preparation to deliver comfort food in under 20 minutes. Optional fresh herbs and lemon juice can elevate the flavor.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 1 (16 ounce) package fettuccine noodles

Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all necessary ingredients including fettuccine noodles, butter, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Boil Water: Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat to prepare for cooking the pasta.
  3. Cook Pasta: Stir the fettuccine noodles into the boiling water, return to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and cook until the noodles are al dente—tender but still firm—this typically takes 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Drain Pasta: Carefully drain the cooked pasta using a colander, then return the noodles to the pot while still warm.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Add the butter pieces and grated Parmesan cheese to the hot pasta. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently until the butter and cheese are fully melted and evenly distributed throughout the noodles.
  6. Serve: Serve the buttered noodles hot as a simple dish or alongside your choice of steak, chicken, or meatballs for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs such as parsley or basil, or a splash of lemon juice before serving.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and richer taste.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to your personal preference.
  • This dish is best served immediately for optimal texture and taste.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently.
