Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 3 tablespoons reduced-fat butter spread
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking.

Step 3

While the noodles are cooking, melt the reduced-fat butter spread in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the low-sodium chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 5

Drain the cooked noodles and add them directly into the skillet. Toss the noodles to evenly coat them with the broth and butter mixture.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is well incorporated and melted.

Step 7

Season the noodles with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the noodles.

Step 9

Toss once more to combine all the ingredients. Serve the noodles warm.
