Ingredients
- 8 oz ditalini pasta or any pasta, half a regular box
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt pepper, garlic powder to taste
- 3-4 cups chicken broth enough to cover the pasta, add more if necessary while boiling
- Grated Parmesan cheese lots!
Method
- Boil the broth in a 3 quart or larger sauce pot over high heat. Add more if needed.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
- Drain the noodles when finished cooking, leaving about 1/4-1/2 cup of broth in the noodles and return to the pot. Do not rinse the pasta.
- Add in the butter and stir to melt the butter into the pasta.
- Sprinkle in desired seasonings and top with parmesan cheese.

Notes
-
- Any pasta works for buttered noodles, but I prefer ditalini, pastina, or egg noodles.
-
- Use a high quality butter. Because this dish contains minimal ingredients, the butter flavor really comes through.
-
- Spice it up with siracha, hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
-
- Use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water for enhanced flavor. If you use water, make sure to salt it generously, or add chicken bullion.
