PARMESAN NOODLES FOR TWO
I used to love the boxed side dish "Noodle Roni Parmesano." I hadn't seen it in store shelves for quite some time, so I played around until I came up with something close to it. As it is just me and my DS at home these days, I intentionally developed the recipe as a side dish for two (or a main course for one!) Although I haven't tried it, I would imagine the recipe would double easily enough.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your Parmesan noodles taste their best. Use a good quality Parmesan cheese, and make sure your butter is fresh.
- Cook the noodles al dente: Al dente noodles are slightly firm to the bite and will hold their shape well in the sauce.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give the noodles plenty of room to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the noodles will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick together.
- Cook the noodles in batches if necessary: If you have a large amount of noodles to cook, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding the skillet.
- Stir the noodles frequently: Stirring the noodles frequently will help prevent them from sticking together and will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unappetizing. Taste the noodles frequently to make sure they are cooked through but still al dente.
- Add the Parmesan cheese gradually: Adding the Parmesan cheese gradually will help prevent it from clumping together. Stir the cheese constantly until it is melted and smooth.
- Serve the noodles immediately: Parmesan noodles are best served immediately after they are cooked. The noodles will start to lose their texture and flavor if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Parmesan noodles are a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give Parmesan noodles a try. You won't be disappointed!
