Oodles of Noodles - Herbed Variation
"These noodles are wonderful if you need a quick side dish. They use ingredients you may already have in your pantry making them a great last minute dinner addition. The recipe comes from Canadian Living's Make It Tonight.
Suggestions for herbs: basil, oregano, parsley
PS: After two reviews suggested it, I have changed the ingredient list to say butter or olive oil rather than olive oil. Thankyous to the reviewers for suggesting the improvements."

A friend of mine used to make a dish very similar to this whenever she was low on funds. I definitely agree that the butter is better than oil. I liked fresh basil with this, but the nice part about it is that you can change up the herbs depending on what else you're serving. Thanks for posting! -
This was a nice noodle recipe. We used fresh oregano, thyme and parsley from the garden. We used 1 Tb of butter and then added a little extra olive oil to moisten it up a bit more. We served with Recipe #114467. Thanks! -
hey this is a great recipe but i think i could make this into a main dish base... it might go well with some chicken... any ideas on wat kind of chicken would go well? something exotic would definately be good... -
A simple and tasty side dish. I have to agree with bmcnichol; I would prefer butter to the olive oil for this. I used dried Italian seasonings. Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag. -
This made for a quick and easy side dish. We enjoyed this but next time I think I would use butter instead of olive oil to give it a bit more flavor.
