Instructions
Boil the Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package directions until tender, usually about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reserve Pasta Water
Before draining the noodles, scoop out about half a cup of the starchy pasta water and set it aside. This water will help create a silkier sauce that clings to every noodle beautifully.
Add Butter and Toss
Drain the noodles and return them immediately to the warm pot. Add the butter, garlic powder, and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together until the butter melts completely and coats every noodle evenly.
Serve and Top
Divide the buttered noodles into bowls and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
