- 0.25 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
While the noodles are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper to the melted butter, stirring to combine.
Step 4
Drain the cooked noodles, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
Step 5
Transfer the noodles to the saucepan with the butter mixture, tossing to coat them evenly.
Step 6
If the noodles seem too dry, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved cooking water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 7
Add the chopped parsley, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more black pepper or lemon juice as needed.
Step 9
Serve the noodles immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley or Parmesan if desired.
