buttered noodles
Pasta with spread
Buttered noodles are plain cooked pasta tossed with butter, sometimes with salt or parmesan.
The dish is associated with children's menus and picky eaters—a safe, bland choice when nothing else appeals: My kid will only eat buttered noodles.
Adults may order it unapologetically or as comfort food.
