Buttery Lemon Parsley Noodles Recipes

BUTTERY LEMON PARSLEY NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to package instructions. (If using angel hair, stop just short of the al dente stage.) Drain and set aside.Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Throw in the cooked pasta and cook it around in the butter for a couple of minutes so that a few of the noodles get a little bit of a panfried texture to them, whatever that means. Zest the lemon. Squeeze in the juice, then add the zest of half the lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste, then toss around and serve. Yum!

BUTTERED EGG NOODLES WITH PARSLEY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to the boil and salt generously. Add the noodles and cook until they are tender but not mushy.
• Meanwhile, ladle 1/4 cup of the noodle cooking water into a medium skillet. Set the skillet over low heat and, while whisking constantly, gradually add the butter, piece by piece, (let each piece of butter melt into the sauce before adding the next bit) until a smooth sauce has formed. Stir in the parsley and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the lemon zest, if desired.
• Drain the noodles in a colander set in the sink and leave whatever water clings to them, do not rinse. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl, add the sauce, and toss well. Serve.
