Garlic-Buttered Pasta
This pasta goes nicely with any entree. Guests always leave a spot for it on their plates. It's great hot or served cold with fresh herbs from my garden.—Stephanie Moon, Boise, Idaho.

easy to make, i think this recipe would be great with wide egg yoke noodles. Loved it, might play with the flavors next time.
After making this and seeing how much butter was just laying in the bottom of the bowl, I boiled another 2 cups of pasta, added more cheese, etc - everything but the butter - and added it to the mix. There was STILL a lot of butter in the bottom! The taste was great, but it needed to be drained. Reheating the next day tasted like it was fried. If I make this again, I'll use much less butter!
Really quick & yummy. I also used dried parsley since I didn't have any fresh on hand. Next time I would cut down on the butter. It was just a bit too much buttery for our taste.
I made this with 1/2 lb. linguine. It was awesome! The only thing I would do different is mix in the parsley, salt and pepper before mixing in the Parmesan to keep it from clumping up.
Yummy!! I did things a little differently though. I marinated shrimp and chicken in butter, lemon, parsley, garlic, and salt & pepper for about 4 hours. I then sauteed the marinated chicken and added the shrimp when the chicken was about half-way cooked. Once it was cooked, I added the noodles, rest of the butter, spice, and cheese (double the cheese). This was an amazing dish, I thought I was in a restaurant!
Fabulous side dish...I didn't have fresh parsley on hand so I just used the parsley from spice cabinet and my family loved it!!! Also substituted the shells for bowties...this will def be a reciepe that is used and reused in my kitchen!!!!!!!
Wonderful side dish! Quick and easy to prepare. Love the butter and garlic!
So yummy! Left out the salt and fresh parsley, added ground flax seed, garlic powder, dried chopped onion, dried basil and parsley I think. Really good!
Double the garlic triple the cheese soooo soooo good!!! Made this about ten times now, no regrets. Everyone loved it.
This was a quick and simple side dish that my whole family enjoy.I just loved it so much.
