Ingredients
12 oz egg noodles (or preferred pasta)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: In a large skillet or saucepan, add egg noodles and broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 8–10 minutes until noodles are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Reduce heat to low.
- Add Butter and Seasonings: Stir in butter until melted. Add garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring noodles are evenly coated.
- Incorporate Cheese: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and stir until creamy. Add a splash of broth or water if needed.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or bacon for protein.
Include vegetables like peas or spinach for added nutrition.
Adjust seasonings for extra flavor, such as Italian herbs or red pepper flakes.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with added broth to restore creaminess.
