A comforting and creamy egg noodle dish enhanced with a touch of garlic and herbs.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles until al dente, following the package instructions. Drain the noodles but do not rinse them.
Cooking the noodles al dente ensures they maintain their texture during baking.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking.
In a microwave-safe dish, melt the butter by microwaving it for about 30 seconds.
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid to prevent splattering.
Combine the cooked noodles with the melted butter in a baking dish, stirring to coat the noodles evenly.
Ensure all noodles are well-coated for a rich flavor.
Pour the milk over the noodles, then sprinkle with salt, white pepper, and garlic powder. Stir gently to combine.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Spray the underside of the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the dish from the oven, uncover, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Adding fresh parsley enhances the dish's presentation and flavor.
