Instructions

  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 10 oz egg noodles and cook for 6-7 minutes until tender but firm. During the last 2 minutes, add 1 cup frozen peas to the boiling water to cook together.
  2. Step 2: Drain noodles and peas, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  3. Step 3: Return noodles and peas to the pot over low heat. Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter and 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently while adding 2-3 tbsp reserved pasta water to create a light sauce that coats the noodles.
  4. Step 4: Season with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss until everything is evenly combined and warmed through. Serve immediately.
