Pour chicken broth and this 1 ingredient over uncooked egg noodles into a baking dish for a classic comfort meal that feels like a warm hug.
This Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Amish Buttered Noodles recipe is an easy, hands-off way to create a rich and comforting side dish. Instead of boiling the pasta, the noodles cook right in a buttery chicken broth, soaking up all the flavor as they soften. The result is tender, silky noodles coated in a simple, savory sauce—classic comfort food made with minimal effort.
Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Amish Buttered Noodles
Ingredients:
- 12 oz wide egg noodles (uncooked)
- 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dish
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread the dry egg noodles evenly across the bottom.
Step 2: Add Liquid
In a bowl, mix the chicken broth and melted butter. Pour the mixture over the noodles, pressing them down gently so they are mostly covered.
Tip: Keeping the noodles submerged helps them cook evenly and prevents dry or crunchy edges.
Step 3: Cover and Bake
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Tip: The foil traps steam, helping the noodles soften and cook through without drying out.
Step 4: Finish Baking
Remove the foil, stir gently, and return to the oven uncovered for another 10–15 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
Let the noodles sit for 5–10 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly and coats the pasta.
