Ingredients
- 12 ounces Wide egg noodles
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1 clove Garlic (finely minced)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 cup Pasta cooking water
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the fresh sage leaves and toast them gently, stirring frequently, until crispy and aromatic (about 1-2 minutes). Remove the sage leaves and set them aside on a small plate.
Step 3
Lower the heat and add the minced garlic to the butter in the skillet. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Add the drained noodles to the skillet with the butter and garlic. Toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Serve the buttered noodles warm, garnished with the crispy sage leaves and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
