- 8 oz spaghettini or angel hair or linguine fini or 12 ounces Chinese Egg Noodles
- 2-3 tbsp butter salted, unsalted whatever floats your boat

- Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated OR To be true to my mom, you should use the pre-grated parmesan cheese in the green can by Kraft!
- salt and pepper garlic salt is nice too, not a mom ingredient but it works
Cook noodles according to directions on package, drain and reserve
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. When it starts to bubble, add noodles, increase heat to medium high.
Toss to coat noodles with butter. Add ketchup and continue to toss to mix thoroughly while frying. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately. Pass the cheese in the little green can. Does that still exist?
ENJOY!!!!
If you want to go crazy, you could saute' some minced garlic in the butter before adding the noodles. You can use garlic salt also.
A riff on ketchup noodle: Replace the ketchup with Oyster Sauce which is just as delicious..salty, briny, buttery....hmmm yum
