Ingredients for 5 Minute Comfort Food

  • 100g (about 1 cup) small egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg

How to Make 5 Minute Comfort Food

  1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3 minutes, or according to package directions for your chosen noodles.

  3. Once the noodles are cooked, immediately drain them and add them to the bowl with the whisked egg.
  4. Stir the noodles and egg together until the egg is cooked and creamy, creating a light sauce.
  5. Stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious 5-minute meal!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
