Cheesy Garlic Butter Noodles


THE BEST GARLIC BUTTER NOODLES!

This little garlic butter noodle side dish was born out of lack of planning, necessity and a craving. You know those little packages of noodles by Lipton? I’m not going to lie I always have one of them in my pantry. I rarely use them, but sometimes I need a quick and easy side dish in a hurry that requires little brain power if any brain power at all.

So, one night I was totally craving some of those noodles and I went to grab the package. I dug, and dug, and dug but it wasn’t there. I was about to cry. Really it wasn’t a huge deal and we would survive without it, but once I get something into my head, I want it. Now. This was one of those times.

Then I got to thinking that garlic butter noodles really wouldn’t be that hard to make from scratch, would it? I went with “No” and then I thought making it would probably be a lot better with a whole lot fewer preservatives and weird stuff. I mean what is that powder in there?

Pretty sure these homemade Garlic Butter Noodles are better and I never need to go back to those little packets of noodles! Isn’t it fun when you do something like this in a panic and it really works out way better in the end anyways?

I’m thinking my niece would love these. She’d be happy with a bowl full of buttered noodles every night and a piece of garlic bread. The more carbs the better! Don’t ask me how she’s a size 2. I might be a little jealous of this since I’m pretty sure I skipped that size altogether!

WHAT CAN I ADD TO PLAIN NOODLES?

The great thing about noodles is that you can dress them up in so many ways!

  • To add even more flavor, cook the pasta shells in chicken stock or vegetable broth instead of water.
  • Switch up the cheese! Instead of mozzarella try gruyere, asiago, provolone or fontina. They are all great melting cheeses and perfect with pasta!
  • Try different herbs to switch up the flavor. Fresh basil, thyme, rosemary or chives all work really well with noodles.

WHAT CAN I ADD TO GARLIC BUTTER NOODLES?
