We make Garlic Butter Noodles at least a couple of times a month and they never get old! This comforting pasta delivers wonderful flavor, is simple to make and can be elevated to a satisfying meal with the help of some roasted veggies. Works great as a side dish or main course!

Garlic Butter Noodles

For the roasted veggies

1
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2
Place the zucchini, bell pepper and cauliflower on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle on the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to combine and coat the veggies.
3
Spread in an even layer and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway. I like my veggies to get a little crispy around the edges but feel free to roast for a little less time.

For the noodles

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to package instructions. Once done, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
2
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it’s fully melted, add in the garlic and sauté, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Be sure not to let the garlic burn!
3
Lower the heat to LOW and add in the noodles. Cook for 1 more minute, tossing the noodles in the garlic butter. Add in just enough of the reserved pasta water as need for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Serve the noodles with the optional veggies, parmesan and herbs. ENJOY!

Notes

1
Veggies: you can use whatever veggies you would like! I often throw other things in based on seasonality and what I happen to have in the fridge that week.
2
Spices: use whatever you would like! The combo listed above is a favorite of mine but I’ve used curry spices before as well as taco seasoning.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Brown Your Garlic Properly 🧄
    Toast minced garlic in butter over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn it or it will turn bitter and overpower the dish.
  • Reserve Pasta Water Strategically 💧
    Save 1 cup of starchy pasta cooking water before draining; use it to create a silky sauce that helps the garlic butter coat the noodles evenly for better flavor distribution.
  • Layer Your Seasonings 🎯
    Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning directly to the butter-garlic mixture rather than just sprinkling on top; this infuses deeper flavor throughout the entire dish.
  • Roast Vegetables Separately ⏲️
    Roast cauliflower, bell pepper, and zucchini at 425°F for 20-25 minutes before tossing with noodles to achieve caramelized edges and concentrated sweetness without making the pasta soggy.
  • Finish with Fresh Olive Oil 🫒
    Drizzle high-quality extra virgin olive oil over the finished dish just before serving to add brightness and richness that elevates this simple recipe from basic to restaurant-quality.
