Butter Noodle Variations
We made these with thin spaghetti noodles, but linguine or fettuccini is my favorite way to enjoy simple battered pasta.
For a super quick noodle that is ready in minutes, try this dish with an egg noodle.
Toppings and seasonings can be altered easily. Try chopped basil, black pepper, everything bagel spice, or red pepper chili flakes.
Perfect buttered noodles really excel if you buy the deli-grated Parmesan. The creamy sauce really shines!
Lastly, we love making this dish and mixing in slightly blacked and steamed broccoli before serving. Yum!
What viral side dishes go well with Noodles?
You can’t have pasta without a perfect side dish of garlic bread. I also like something green like cucumber tomato onion salad or oven roasted veggies.
TikTok Pasta Recipes
There is nothing better than a chicken pasta with sundried tomatoes. It’s so richly excellent.
I don’t think we can call Ramen noodles exactly pasta (more like instant noodles), but with viral trends predicting the next recipes, we can’t leave it out! Try your hand at Ramen lasagna, ramen grilled cheese, and, of course, tiktok ramen.
