The quantities follow this count.

12 oz egg noodles
4 tbsp butter
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package directions, until tender.
Reserve a small cup of the starchy cooking water, then drain the noodles.
Return the noodles to the warm pot and toss with the butter until melted and glossy, adding a splash of the reserved water if they look dry.
Stir in the parsley and season with the salt and pepper, then serve at once; the dried Bandnudeln from a packet that actually sits beside a Gulasch on a Wednesday, not the fresh scraped Spaetzle dough.
