Buttered Noodles
If you need a good side dish like this broccoli cheese casserole or hash brown casserole, you will love these simple buttered noodles.
We had these at least once a week when I was growing up. They are so easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients and go with just about anything. Sometimes we would have add some grilled chicken and steamed broccoli on top for a full meal.
For this recipe you will need: egg noodles, chicken broth, butter, garlic powder, salt and pepper
How to make buttered noodles
- Instead of using a large pot, I recommend cooking these noodles in a large skillet. Bring broth and butter to a boil and then submerge the egg noodles. I usually have to press down on the noodles to get them completely submerged.
- Unlike most pasta, these noodles soak up all of the flavorful broth and are not drained. Cook them for about 8 minutes and then turn off the heat. Stir in more butter, a little garlic powder and a touch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Give them a good stir until all of the butter has melted. Want to give them a little extra something? Sprinkle on some Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
Egg noodles and butter
How are egg noodles different from regular pasta?
Ever wondered why they are called egg noodles? Regular pasta and egg noodles are both made with a mix of wheat and eggs. Egg noodles are made with a higher proportion of eggs to wheat than traditional pasta. They are usually long flat strips that can vary in length.

All you need is a large skillet to make this recipe. I use this non-stick skillet at home. If you don’t have a large skillet, a stockpot works also works well.
