Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz egg noodles, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

  • Prepare noodles according to package instructions.
  • After draining the water, immediately add the butter to the pot of cooked noodles. Stir well to fully combine.
  • Sprinkle in the garlic salt while stirring to evenly combine the flavors. If you also want to use garlic powder, stir it in as well.
  • Add the parmesan cheese. Stir well to fully combine.
  • Top with parmesan and, if desired, black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Notes and Substitutions:
  • Parsley - Top with a little parsley for a fresh pop of flavor.
  • Garlic powder - Substitute garlic powder and salt if you do not have any garlic salt on-hand, or if you just prefer less sodium.
  • Lemon juice - Fresh squeezed lemon juice or 100% lemon juice both work if you plan to add this optional ingredient.
 
Storage Instructions:
Due to the high glycemic index of pasta, it is best to consume this dish immediately. Further, reheating leftover pasta noodles further increases the glycemic index. Reheated noodles tend to get harder as they cool, which means they do not taste great anyway.
