Winter is not only the perfect time to slow down and reflect on your life goals, it is also the time to get outrageously sick. It’s flu season baby and nothing is more perfect for flu season then a simple butter pasta dish.
This dish is a similar vibe to Pastina (an Italian dish), also known as penicillin soup. The only real difference is this recipe was not made with the love of a Nonna (instead by the festering evil heart of Steph) and it is using regular pasta instead of Pastina or Stars pasta.
(Yes I am well aware that is the exact same intro as my last weeks post, but this legit an identical recipe minus the veggies and here at SNTD we are busy and don’t have time for fancy intros).
This recipe should take less than 30 minutes to make.
Ingredients
- Box of pasta
- ideally a “smaller” type of pasta
- 32 oz Chicken stock (anywhere between 3-4 cups works)
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 cup Parmesan
- Salt, pepper, generic seasonings you like
Recipe
- Bring the chicken stock to a boil in a sauce pan, add salt to taste
- Cook the pasta in the stock as directed on the box
- You may need to add some water into this mixture to make sure the pasta has enough fluid to boil it properly (you could use additional chicken stock too)
- Add in the butter and parmesan, add salt + pepper to taste. Season with whatever else you enjoy too!
- Enjoy!
Similar to most girlies, I grew up loving to eat butter noodles. The generic pasta, butter, and parmesan dish that has inspired the hearts of all women everywhere (IDK why so many men I have met don’t understand the beauty of it?? Sorry if you’re a man who understands and is offended by my excluding of you).
The addition of the broth into this dish makes a huge difference in the flavor and the nutritional value of this meal and it is such a cheap pantry-stable item to add into this already cheap and easy dinner idea.
