You guys… I have been jonesing for buttered noodles for days. And days and days. And I finally hit the end of the grocery week, where it’s slim pickings and I need to fill my family with a delicious dish that doesn’t compromise in quality, or ingredients. You are going to love this recipe. It works with all staples you have in your house, and is made in under 30 minutes.
This is a recipe that I am going to have our 19 year old cook. She recently moved out, fled the coop, left the nest, cut the cord… you get the idea, she moved out, by choice and now she’s cooking every other day and learning the ins-and-outs of cooking. This one I’m sure she could whip up with minimal issue!
Now if you haven’t dined at Noodles and Co, I’m sorry! This wont be a copycat recipe for you, but for you other diners who love this casual restaurant, here we go!
If you don’t already have a meat thermometer I am going to suggest you purchase one. You should just have it in general, so consider this recipe your motivation for purchasing one. I have one like this, but you could easily level up for an infrared thermometer (which I’ll buy one day).
Other than that, you will have everything we need to get cooking.
