Yeah, I personally never had buttered pasta, but when my hubby is sick, it's all he wants as comfort food. You over boil noodles, not too much, still chewy but a minute more than you'd typically grab it off... drain. Add... country crock and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. ... rosemary??? This whole recipe just got fancy
No mom is using 2 pots for butter noodles. Boil the pasta, drain the pasta put it back in the exact same pot throw in some butter, some garlic, parsley, seasoning, and Collett a day. This is like fancy grown-up butter noodles, I like it though
@@dianebourne6297 I used two pots to make an egg drop soup today. I added some leftover onions and other veg that I had in a leftover curry sauce to the chicken stock, then strained them all out into a second pot before lightly thickening it with a slurry and adding the eggy strands. The biggest pain was washing the strainer. Lol. (It was delicious . I’ll definitely make curry egg drop soup again.)
@CocoLarkinCooks love it! my guy used to laugh and say a tornado came through because I didn't clean as I cooked. he taught me well though. I'm still working on using less 🙃
People saying it has to be extremely plain are nit picking. The base is pasta and butter but you can include whatever will enhance it if you have something on hand. I use a little chicken Bouillon reconstituted in pasta water and grated parmasan cheese, which you can get for very cheap in a shaker. Ground pepper and garlic are good to sprinkle in too it being isn’t too fancy and ruining the point of the dish, it is creativity. Even if you're living in abject poverty (which i have in the past) you can enhance your food with whatever you can afford, even if it is just ground pepper your taste buds will thank you. This helps to keep the meal from becoming unappealing over time. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.
Water, pasta, butter, salt. Thats it.. who tf has a lemon to waste on a SINGLE BOWL OF PASTA. This was a budget meal for families trying to save money.
Those aren’t butter noodles!!! They’re WAY too fancy! Butter noodles are my expertise… I work with, and cook for, MANY small children! (Not mine lol). I also LOVED butter noodles as a kid! I think it’s because they’re so bland, but you don’t have to worry about what’s in the tomato sauce since you KNOW some kids will pick out EVERY. SINGLE. CHUNK! 😂🤣😂 this is the top secret recipe: *boil your noodles (we, as kids) always had it with macaroni, but I like penne. Kids like something familiar (usually macaroni 😂). *Grab a spoon of butter 🧈 I’d say 1Tbs minimum to a heaping Tbs of butter *Put two ingredients together in the pot & mix *Scoop into bowls *Ketchup on the side (sometimes on top even) is FOR SURE going to be the best & most asked for option. This is about 50/50 “ask” *Voila! Yore know the best cook EVER according to your kids lol) My apologies for the full novella 😂🎉 New subscriber btw ❤❤❤
I cook pasta, drain, add butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. My son LOVES it and asks for it regularly. Sometimes I add a splash of extra virgin olive oil too. I had it growing up in rural Ireland in the 80's. No boiling butter in water, just add the butter and seasoning to hot drained pasta
My husband somehow had never had this before! My mom made it ALL the time, and it popped up as a pregnancy craving. He was so grossed out about all the butter until he actually tried it lmao
My grandma is from Morocco and would make us buttered angel hair pasta or rice when we were kids, it’s still my favorite comfort meal or just when I feel lazy or not much appetite
Never had them, grew up mostly in Southern Ohio & Lower Michigan. Mom summered in Cape Cod, wintered in Miami, Florida... never heard of them Dad, from Southern Alabama, cooked on the weekends...never heard of them. Hmmm... did someone tell you a fib? I am 72. Never heard of them... sorry.
I grew up eating this, and i gave it to my kids too. I just boil the macaroni or pastina, put a piece of butter on top of it and some grated Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese. Yum!
I am totally American never had butter noodles until I was grown adult. as a kid, we rarely eat restaurants like maybe McDonald’s a couple times a year was like going out
The version I learned from my mom was cook the noodles all the way and drain them, get half a stick of salted butter and garlic powder or salt (depends on how salty you want it) then mix until melted, then get the fake plastic jar Parmesan and put as much as you wanted per person
Same here in France but replace the parmesan by comté cheese, and add it in the pot before serving so it's well melted and gives a good cheese pull. The amount of cheese has to be be very generous.
I'm 36 (American) and have never seen buttered noodles on a kid or adult menu. I hadn't even heard of or had it until an event that was held at my high school.
My parents would just cook pasta and throw butter, salt, and some garlic powder into it. This is a nice fancy version of this that I want to make now as an adult! 😂
There are quite a few recipes for Pasta con Sarde (Pasta with Sardines). The one I make starts with olive oil and sautéed minced garlic. Add sardines and sauté a little, then add some breadcrumbs and Parmesan and seasoning . Serve up pasta and top with sardine mixture. Finish with a bit more Parmesan if desired. Takes about 15 minutes.
Never had it, never fed it to my kids. A girlfriend of my son would make it for her young daughter, but it was just flat noodles, cooked and drained, then she stirred in a chunk of butter or margarine (ick!) until it melted.
Nah girl I never ate it but my white cousins did and they would literally just cook pasta and as the rest of us were eating it with sauce their mom would put a cold slab of butter on it. No other seasoning just lukewarm pasta and a pat of butter. This looks good though
This is what I call. poor man pasta. You get the cheese from the pizza takeout place, without buying any pizza. lemon off your neighbor's tree. $0.69 margarine. Dollar store noodles. My son loved this so much. It costs .30 per serving.
It’s the only thing we can cook cuz we’re allowed to boil water but not make sauce so we put butter and Parmesan cheese. Also this is definitely the adult version😅
I think this is specific to certain kinds of american kids ⚪️ i have certainly never had it my american parents havent and my sisters kids have never had it either
Where in America is this? I have never seen this on a kids menu. It was not a common thing in our family either. We always had Mac n cheese A la Kraft. Or off brand. I have seen Mac n cheese on most diner restaurants. I have seen chicken nuggets on most fast food venues. I have seen burgers and fries but butter noodles? Nope. Those look a little dry to me. Sorry not every American kid. Did you mean Italian kid?
