  • 8 ounces egg noodles (about 4 cups)

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan.

4. Stir in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Add the minced onion, black pepper, noodles and peas (if using), stir.

6. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are soft and most of the mixture has been soaked up by the noodles.
