Buttered Noodles

---

Made with penne and the parmesan, this is a meal in a pinch for me, needing maybe just a slice of toasted bread rubbed with garlic. made with curly egg noodles, this is an ideal side for anything from a piece of a cooked turkey to a thick beef stew.

Steps

---

Bring a pot of water to a boil.

---

For this amount of pasta i would boil at least 2 quarts of water.

---

When the water is boiling , add at least a tablespoon of salt and stir to dissolve.

Add the noodles to the boiling water.

---

For the egg noodles , cook 5 minutes from the time the water comes back to a boil.

While the pasta is cooking , cut the butter into small bits , and chop the parsley.

Drain the pasta well , and transfer immediately to a large serving bowl.
