Instructions

Cook the Noodles: In a large skillet or saucepan, combine the egg noodles and broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 8–10 minutes or until the noodles are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Once done, reduce the heat to low.
Add Butter and Seasonings: Stir in the butter until it has completely melted, coating the noodles evenly. Then add the minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly to distribute the flavors throughout the noodles.
Incorporate Cheese: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of broth or water to adjust the consistency to your liking.
Serve and Garnish: Serve the noodles hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired for a burst of color and fresh flavor.

Notes

Use vegetable broth to make the dish vegetarian-friendly.
Adjust salt according to the saltiness of your broth.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
For extra creaminess, a splash of heavy cream can be added when incorporating the cheese.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting texture.
Fresh parsley is optional but adds a nice touch of color and freshness.
