Feta Egg Noodles is a delicious and simple recipe that combines the rich, nutty flavor of browned butter with creamy feta cheese and tender egg noodles. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a comforting meal that is sure to please your taste buds.
Instructions:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.
3. Drain the noodles and set aside.
1. While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Once melted, continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently. The butter will foam and then begin to brown. Watch closely to ensure it doesn’t burn.
3. When the butter has a golden-brown color and a nutty aroma, remove it from the heat. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
1. Once the butter is browned, add the cooked egg noodles to the saucepan with the brown butter. Toss to coat the noodles thoroughly.
2. Crumble the feta cheese over the noodles and gently toss so the cheese is evenly distributed and begins to melt slightly.
- Transfer the Feta Egg Noodles a serving dish.
- Serve immediately to enjoy at its best.
Tips:
- Use high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor. You can choose between a creamy or crumbly variety depending on your preference.
- Make sure to cook the egg noodles until they are al dente. Overcooked noodles can become mushy and will not hold up well in the dish.
- When browning the butter, keep a close eye on it. Butter can go from browned to burnt very quickly, so it's important to remove it from the heat as soon as it reaches a golden brown color and gives off a nutty aroma.
- Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining the noodles. Adding a little pasta water to the dish can help create a silky sauce that better coats the noodles and cheese.
In just a few simple steps, you've created a luxurious and comforting Feta Egg Noodles. This dish showcases how a few high-quality ingredients can come together to make a truly satisfying meal. Serve it hot and enjoy the rich flavors with every bite. Whether it's a quiet dinner at home or a dish to impress guests, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
