Cheesy Buttered Noodles

Cook the pasta al dente to prevent it from becoming mushy when mixed with the cheese and butter.

Mix the ingredients quickly while the noodles are still hot to make sure the cheese melts evenly.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a zesty kick.

For a creamier version, you can substitute some of the butter with heavy cream or milk.

If you prefer a crispier texture, you can bake the cheesy buttered noodles in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until golden brown on top.
