Sometimes simple is best. These buttery noodles are a wonderful alternative to mashed potatoes as a side. They go well with just about any pork recipe. The pasta looks pretty along side breaded chicken breasts or baked fish, too. You can even drizzle the noodles with a little gravy or pan drippings to bring out more flavor. Depending upon the “main” star, adding a little crushed garlic is also a nice touch. For added color, sprinkle finished pasta with a little chopped parsley.
Not only are these noodles easy to make, they can become the base for a wide variety of dishes, such as meatballs or baked chicken tenders.
