Buttered Egg Noodles with Parsley image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 15m

Yield about 4 to 6 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces wide egg noodles
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest, optional

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and salt generously. Add the noodles and cook until they are tender but not mushy.
Meanwhile, ladle 1/4 cup of the noodle cooking water into a medium skillet. Set the skillet over low heat and, while whisking constantly, gradually add the butter, piece by piece, (let each piece of butter melt into the sauce before adding the next bit) until a smooth sauce has formed. Stir in the parsley and salt and pepper, to taste. Add the lemon zest, if desired.
Drain the noodles in a colander set in the sink and leave whatever water clings to them, do not rinse. Transfer the noodles to a large bowl, add the sauce, and toss well. Serve.

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound pasta (fettuccine, linguine, angel hair)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup finely minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. (If using angel hair, stop just short of the al dente stage.) Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil. Add the parsley, garlic and lemon zest and stir. Throw in the drained pasta and cook, tossing and coating it in the mixture, so that a few of the pieces get a little bit of a pan-fried texture to them, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and some salt and pepper and toss again.
