1
Boil the Water
In a large pot, bring about 4-6 cups of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water.
2
Cook the Noodles
Once the water is boiling, add 8 oz of egg noodles. Stir occasionally and cook according to package instructions until al dente, typically around 7-9 minutes.
3
Drain the Noodles
Once cooked, reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the noodles in a colander and set aside.

4
Melt the Butter
In the same pot you used for the noodles, add 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Allow it to melt gently without browning.
5
Combine with Noodles
Add the drained noodles back into the pot with the melted butter. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly.
6
Add Cheese and Seasoning
Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of black pepper. If the noodles seem dry, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve desired consistency.
7
Serve
Serve the buttered noodles immediately, garnished with extra grated cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
