These Buttered Noodles are positively addicting. Cooked in chicken broth and butter with a bouillon cube and garlic powder, they soak up so much delicious, salty flavor.
This recipe is fabulously quick and easy!
How to Make Buttered Noodles:
- Combine the chicken broth, water, bouillon cube and half a stick of butter in a large nonstick skillet and bring to a boil.
- Add the egg noodles and cook for 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic powder and remaining butter. Season to taste and serve!
The key to really getting flavorful noodles is to not use any water and to cook them in as little liquid as possible. So little liquid that it’s not even necessary to drain them.
In order to get them to cook evenly, you need to cook them in a large nonstick pan and stir frequently because they won’t be completely submerged in liquid.
These Buttered Noodles are on the salty side which is one of the things I find so appealing about them.
If you’re worried they will be too salty, use either low-sodium broth or a low-sodium bouillon cube.
Buttered Noodles make a super inexpensive side dish that is so delicious everyone will want to eat it as a main dish.
They have plenty of flavor as is, but if you want to, sprinkle them with a little chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

The finished noodles will be fairly salty. If you want them less salty, use reduced sodium broth or a reduced sodium bouillon cube.
