A delightful and simple recipe combining noodles with a flavorful herb-infused butter sauce.
Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Reserve a cup of pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency later.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to better control the seasoning of the dish.
Add the garlic and onion to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant and softened.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the thyme, basil, and parsley, cooking for another minute to release their flavors.
Fresh herbs provide a vibrant flavor, but dried herbs can be used in smaller quantities.
Add the cooked noodles to the saucepan and toss to coat evenly with the herb butter sauce.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
Serve the herbed butter noodles hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
