Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz egg noodles or pasta of choice
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, halal-certified or vegetarian rennet (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain the pasta (do not rinse).
  • Return the hot pasta to the warm pot or a large bowl. Add the butter and toss until fully melted and the noodles are lightly glossy. If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to help the butter coat evenly.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Add Parmesan and herbs, if using, and toss again. Serve immediately.
