Poppy seed noodles
I’m thrilled to share one of my all-time favorite recipes with you: poppy seed noodles. They are simple, elegant, and packed with flavor.
Equipment
- Large skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups of egg noodles prepared per package instructions and drained
- 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt adjust to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Noodles
- Start by cooking the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them thoroughly to avoid any watery mess.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Keep an eye on it to prevent the butter from burning.
Step 3: Add Poppy Seeds
- Once the butter is fully melted, toss in the poppy seeds. Stir them around to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Toss Noodles in Butter
- Add the cooked and drained noodles to the skillet. Stir well to coat each noodle with the butter and poppy seed mixture.
Step 5: Season and Add Cheese
- Sprinkle in the sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Give it a good mix!
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Finally, sprinkle the finely chopped fresh parsley over the noodles. Serve immediately.
Notes
Here are some tips to perfect your poppy seed noodles:
- Don’t Overcook the Noodles: The noodles should be al dente. Overcooked noodles can turn mushy.
- Use Freshly Ground Black Pepper: For the best flavor, freshly ground black pepper is preferred.
- Quality Parmesan: A good-quality Parmesan cheese can make a big difference.
- Watch the Butter: Make sure the butter doesn’t burn; cook it on medium heat.
- Mix Well: Ensure every noodle is well-coated with the sauce for a consistent taste.
