Garlic is the star of the show in this quick and easy Garlic Buttered Noodles recipe!
I am a huge fan of garlic so this simple Garlic Buttered Noodles recipe is right up my alley! I used about six cloves of minced garlic! If you are not as much of a fan of a strong garlic flavor, play around with the amount to fit your tastebuds. It will be delicious no matter how you mix it up!
Even if you are not a huge fan, garlic has so many health benefits, it’s worth throwing some in your dishes. Garlic is low in calories, but high in vitamins and nutrients, especially Vitamin C. It also can help combat the symptoms of common colds and the flu.
Serving Ideas:
Your kids will love it as is; or pair the pasta with your favorite chicken recipe for a flavorful side dish, perfect for a busy weeknight.
Pair with any of these:
Asparagus, mushrooms, caramelized onions, or spinach would be delicious additions to bring in extra veggies to dinner. I think next time I make this I’m definitely going to throw in some fresh spinach.
