How to Make You Want Me To Do What To The Buttered Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 ounces of your favorite pasta (such as egg noodles, fettuccine, or spaghetti) and cook according to package directions until al dente.
While the noodles are cooking, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Continue to stir the butter occasionally and watch carefully as it melts.
Once the butter begins to foam and turn golden brown, continue stirring constantly.
Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a medium to dark brown color, taking on a nutty aroma. This process takes about 5-7 minutes and requires constant attention to prevent burning. Remove from heat immediately once the desired color is achieved.
Drain the cooked noodles thoroughly. Immediately pour the browned butter over the noodles, tossing gently to coat.
The butter will sizzle – this is a good sign! The noodles will have small brown flecks from the browned butter.
Serve immediately and enjoy the incredible depth of flavor!
