Variations & Tips
For picky eaters, you can dial back the black pepper and let everyone add their own at the table; some kids prefer just the buttery noodles on their own. If you like a little extra richness, stir in an additional tablespoon or two of butter just before serving. To make it feel more like a full meal, fold in a handful of leftover shredded chicken or diced ham, or serve the noodles under sliced sausage. For a slightly different flavor, you can use salted butter and reduce the added salt, or try browning the butter in a small pan until it smells nutty before tossing it with the noodles. If someone in your family prefers softer noodles, simply cook them a minute or two longer, adding a splash more of the reserved cooking water when you toss so they still stay glossy and well-coated.
