Butter Noodles
(I know how it sounds but hear me out this is PEAK depression snackage)
Save Or Splurge
- Pasta, Any pasta. As much as you like
- Butter (measure that shit with your heart)
- Cheese (I prefer parmesan, but nobody can control what you do)
- Salt + Pepper Ingredients:
Method:
- Boil the pasta with a lil bit of salt (If you can’t figure this out then I’m slightly concerned)
- While that’s cooking: Chop up the butter into manageable-sized pieces, and grate the cheese (if that’s the direction you’re going in)
- Once the pasta is done, strain it.
- While the pasta is still hot, load it with the butter and cheese. (Add some pepper)
- Give it a lil mix so everything melts and we don’t just have chunks of butter in our pasta.
- If you want some other toppings, be my guest. Go for some spring onion, garlic powder, I don’t care.
- Eat it. (preferably in a dark room while binge watching YouTube videos.)
