I remember as a kid my cousin would make noodles with butter and garlic?

Question

I can't remember exactly what to put in it...I do remember it was really simple because we would make it as like nine year olds. Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

if you were nine years old maybe you cooked egg noodles after cooking & drained ad some butter & garlic you probably used powdered garlic but for a fresh taste dice up some fresh garlic & saute with butter in a skillet when garlic is soft, add noodles and simmer a little adding a little more butter if desired

Answer 2

I don't know but here is a recipe that is supposed to be good for colds

Garlic and Herb Pasta

(This serves 2 really hungry people but can be spread out to 4 people if you serve it with a salad or something.)

 24 cloves of garlic, peeled (This is a really boring job but it's so very worth it.)
 2 T olive oil
 1 1/2 cup veggie broth or water
 a couple of Roma tomatoes and a little onion, maybe some red pepper
 ~2 T dried basil
 tarragon, oregano, pepper to taste (the more the better, usually 2 t tarragon is perfect)
 Whatever pasta floats your boat (I like penne or mostaciolli)

Sautee the garlic cloves (still whole) in the olive oil for 3 minutes, stirring frequently and being VERY careful not to burn them. If you do, throw em out and start over b/c burned garlic in this is REALLY gross. Add 1/2 c of the broth and turn the heat to low and let simmer for awhile, about 15 minutes or until the broth has evaporated mostly. [You should start the water for the pasta now.]
By this point, the garlic should be soft enough to crush with the back of a wooden spoon. Crush about 3/4 of them like this. Add the rest of the broth, the sliced up tomatoes, the chopped up onion, and the herbs.
I've actually never measured out the herbs I put in, so you should taste the broth and see how you like it. Wait a couple minutes for the tomatoes to shrivel up, add more pepper, and turn the heat off. Try not to drool into the broth. :)

Answer 3

We do this at the restaurant all the time. Add a little butter to a saute' pan and throw in some chopped fresh garlic and add your hot cooked pasta. Toss it around to coat the noodles and serve. You can also add some sliced shrooms and bell pepper or whatever else you have in the fridge to the butter and garlic. Remember that burned garlic is nasty so don't turn your back on it while cooking.

Answer 4

Any kind of noodles you like, a 1/2 stick of butter and either garlic powder or garlic salt. Cook the noodles, Add garlic salt or powder to melted butter and pour over noodles and mix thoroughly. Maybe add some shrimp to the meal

Answer 5

I would do as your first responder suggested, although I would use fresh minced garlic. You can keep it as simple as you want with just melted butter and garlic, or add things to it, like sliced mushrooms, green or red peppers, then you can advance to a full fledged meal by adding strips of beef or chicken to it.
If you want to keep it simple, though, just stick to salt,pepper, garlic, and melted butter. For more garlicy taste you can always add the garlic powder to it...I prefer it to the garlic salt. Any type of pasta will work..spaghetti, linguine, penne, wide noodles, etc.
Just cook your pasta, then melt your butter in a saute pan, throw in your garlic on med heat, and stir until it just starts to brown--not burned or you will have to throw it away, then stir in your drained and cooked pasta, season with salt, pepper, whatever else you think it needs, and you are set. Sounds yummy. Have fun!
