Egg Noodles With Brown Butter And Feta Recipes

BUTTERED EGG NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook 12 ounces wide egg noodles in salted boiling water until al dente. Transfer 1/4 cup cooking water to a skillet. Stir in 4 tablespoons butter, one at a time. Add some chopped parsley and/or dill, a squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Drain the noodles and toss with the sauce.

PASTA WITH BROWN BUTTER AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta, but don't shake it fully dry.
• In a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold the pasta (and preferably with a light-colored bottom so you can see the butter solids brown), melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty and toasty, 3 to 4 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it does not burn. If it does, start over.) Remove from heat immediately.
• Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss with the brown butter. Stir in the cheese until melted. Stir in pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the pasta is glossy with sauce (you probably won't need the full 1/2 cup).
• Serve with black pepper and more Parmesan on top.

• Spread 1/3 of noodles on a large platter and sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese.
• Repeat the layering 2 more times.
• Pour brown butter over noodles and toss.

BUTTERED NOODLES WITH EGGS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook noodles in a large pot of lightly salted water until al dente.
• While the pasta is cooking, place the eggs, grated cheese, parsley, salt and pepper into a mixing bowl and beat with a whisk until well combined.
• When the noodles are almost cooked, melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Quickly drain the pasta and add it to the skillet.
• Toss briefly to coat it with the butter.
• Add the egg mixture to the skillet and using a flat wooden spoon, mix quickly together for less than a minute until the eggs and noodles become creamy and thick.
• Do not cook the eggs too long or they will scramble and ruin the dish.
• Serve immediately.
