A delightful twist on classic buttered noodles, enhanced with fresh herbs and a creamy sauce.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season it generously with salt.
Salting the water enhances the flavor of the noodles as they cook.
Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally.
Stirring prevents the noodles from sticking together.
Reserve a quarter cup of the cooking water and drain the noodles.
The starchy cooking water helps bind the sauce to the noodles.
In a skillet over low heat, whisk the reserved cooking water with the butter, adding the butter gradually until a creamy sauce forms.
Adding the butter gradually ensures a smooth and creamy sauce.
Stir in the parsley and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Freshly ground pepper adds a more vibrant flavor.
Toss the drained noodles with the sauce until evenly coated.
Tossing the noodles in the sauce while still warm helps them absorb the flavors.
Serve the noodles immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serving immediately ensures the noodles are at their best texture and flavor.
