Yield Makes 8 to 10 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound dried egg noodles or egg pasta
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
6 ounces Greek feta (preferably Mt. Vikos or Dodoni brand), crumbled (1 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until just tender (softer than al dente). Drain well in a colander.
  • While noodles cook, melt butter in a small heavy skillet over low heat and continue to cook until it begins to turn golden brown, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Spread one third of noodles on a large platter and sprinkle with one third of cheese. Repeat layering with remaining noodles and cheese in 2 batches, then pour brown butter over noodles and toss with 2 forks to combine. Spread noodles on platter and season with pepper.
