Parmesan Noodles

I am all for a really simple pasta.
This dish is a good side dish to a flavorful steak dinner or to eat on its own if you have an upset stomach and want some carbs.

Ingredients
8 ounces medium egg noodles
1/4 cup of butter or margarine
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 tbs of parsley

Directions
Cook noodles according to package.
When noodles are done, drain and set aside.
In a different pan, melt butter.
Once melted, mix in garlic powder.
Pour butter mixture over noodles.
Add cheese and parsley and toss.

Changes I made!
I normally free hand my parsley and cheese until it looks right. This isn't a dish where you have to be precise.
