Garlic Herbed Buttered Noodles
These herbed buttered noodles are a simple, comforting side dish made with tender pasta and an assortment of herbs. An easy, family friendly recipe that pairs well with almost any meal or even serves as a meal on it
Herbed buttered noodles are one of those lifesaver meals.
It was one of the sons’ favorite foods and most requested lunches whenever visiting their grandma’s house.
And because they are so easy and use basic ingredients, they became a staple when I was in the pregnancy homestretch with son #4.
While that was awhile ago now, these herbed butter noodles have withstood the test of time.
The butter coats the noodles perfectly while the herbs add just enough flavor without making things complicated.
This is the kind of dish that pairs with almost anything and pleases almost everyone.
Tender noodles coated in buttery sauce full of dill, thyme, and garlic for a touch of pizzazz.
Ingredients
To make these you’ll need:
- Noodles– I’m using uncooked egg noodles because I often have these in stock but you could use any shorter, thicker noodle like penne or rotini if that’s what you have.
- Butter– Salted or unsalted. Whatever you have!
- Garlic– Minced. If you don’t have fresh or jarred minced garlic, you can substitute garlic powder.
- Herbs– Dried dill weed and dried thyme
- Salt– To taste
How to Make
These herbed buttered noodles are so easy!
Just cook the egg noodles according to the package directions.
Then melt the butter in a large skillet, stirring in the garlic, herbs and salt to taste.
Add the drained, cooked pasta to the butter mixture and toss the noodles to coat them.
Serve and enjoy!
Storing
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Reheat them in the microwave until warmed through, adding more butter if needed.
Tips and Tricks
- This makes a delicious, kid friendly main dish or a side dish for any protein you like.
- You can change the herbs based on your preferences, what you have available or what main dish you are serving with the noodles.
- Other yummy herbs to try in this recipe include dried basil, oregano, and rosemary. If you have fresh parsley, you could also add that at the end.
- No butter? Use an equal amount of olive oil. While the noodles won’t be buttery then, they’ll still be delicious.

When my son was small, I used to often wonder how my mum managed without pasta – we never had any until we came to Canada and I had a Kraft dinner at a friends one night…but even then we never really had it at home. For me it has been a real life saver especially on those busy nights when there have been after school activities and homework and someone dropping by…hot pasta, pesto, creme fraiche, cherry tomatoes, broccoli and some left over chicken and dinner is ready in about 15 minutes!! I love the idea of your buttered noodles though and it sounds very appealing right now!
