Answer 3

Buttered noodles oh yes. I like to buy egg noodles. In case you don't know, those are flat wavy noodles. Cook them in a bit of salted water until done, package will say how long 7-10 min. drain, and put a chunk of butter, in it , melt, and toss. Salt and pepper to taste. It is delicious and less calories than cheese. My mom made these occasionally. We loved them.

Answer 4

My mother used to cook pasta in salted water, drain the pasta and then stir in butter till it melted -- that was the only way my sister liked it.

Mom also made pasta with bechamel (white) sauce and then baked it like mac and cheese.

Baked Macaroni w/Bechamel Sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8" x 8" baking dish and set aside.

Cook 1-1/2 cups of small elbow macaroni or pasta shells according to instructions, drain and set aside.

Sauce:
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1 cup milk
dash salt
dash white pepper

Topping:
1/2 c. toasted breadcrumbs (I make mine from toasted french bread but you can use store-bought plain or italian) mixed with 2 tbsp melted butter, set aside.

Sauce: In heavy saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour with a wire whisk. Cook over low heat for three minutes, stirring constantly (This mixture is called a roux). Do not allow the mixture to brown.

Gradually stir in milk, whisking constantly. Cook over low heat for 3-5 more minutes until sauce begins to thicken. Season to taste. Makes 1 cup.

Pour sauce over pasta in baking dish and top with the buttered breadcrumbs.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until nicely browned.
