Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz Bag of Wide Egg Noodles
  • 1 32 oz Chicken Broth
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring broth and butter to a boil: In a large skillet, combine the chicken broth and 4 tablespoons of butter. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  2. Cook the noodles: Add the wide egg noodles to the boiling broth and butter, stirring to ensure all noodles are submerged and coated. Boil uncovered for 8 minutes, or until noodles are tender but firm to the bite.
  3. Finish with seasoning and butter: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter along with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the butter has fully melted and the flavors are evenly distributed.
  4. Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the noodles before serving for added color and freshness.

Notes

  • Using chicken broth instead of water adds rich flavor to the noodles.
  • Do not overcook the noodles; boiling for about 8 minutes ensures they remain tender but not mushy.
  • Adjust salt and pepper according to taste, especially if your chicken broth is already salted.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice touch but is optional.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
