Types Of EGG Noodles To Make Buttered Egg Noodles Recipe:

There are different kinds of egg noodles available in the market and there are a few popular kinds I have tried in this buttered noodle recipe which works great with instant pot.

I have found that this buttered egg noodles recipe works with any regular egg noodles like wide egg noodles, extra wide egg noodles etc.

I have also tried making narrow Amish style noodles which worked well also.

However, thin or very thin egg noodles gets overcooked in the instant pot pressure cooker unless you do a quick release so I do not recommend using thin egg noodles for this recipe.

There are other types of egg noodles like tagliatelle pasta egg noodles as well, which I have to try in the instant pot yet and I will update the post when I try!

How long to cook egg noodles in the instant pot?

I cooked the egg noodles for only 1 minute time in the instant pot along with a natural pressure release time of 12 minutes.

The total time in the recipe to includes the time for the instant pot to come to pressure and also the time needed for a pressure release.

I do not recommend quick release for pasta for safety reasons and to avoid any hot liquid mess.

The noodles is on the softer side with a creamy, saucy texture as we do a natural pressure release method for this recipe, for about 12 minutes.

This is not a quick method of making the buttered noodles since the instant pot takes some time to come into pressure and also it takes some time for the time needed for natural pressure release before you do the manual pressure release.

However why I love making pasta and noodles in the instant pot is because once you add the ingredients, it does its job without you being there so its really easy that way since we don’t have to babysit the pot and so the work is much lesser.

I tried this with Amish narrow noodles as well as wide egg noodles.

From my experience, regular spaghetti noodles need more water to cook and they do not get cooked fast like the egg noodles.

So I always use more water to cook the regular spaghetti noodles which turns out perfect every time.

To see how to cook spaghetti noodles in the IP, see this easy instant pot spaghetti noodles recipe here.

However, this is again different for thin spaghetti noodles or angel hair pasta noodles since they are thin noodles that cook faster.

You can learn here how to make cheesy thin spaghetti noodles in instant pot!

This instant pot noodles as you see in above picture is prepared using Amish style narrow egg noodles and it is delicious!

Just like we can make one pot pasta in instant pot (recipe here), we can also make instant pot noodles in instant pot without needing to boil the noodles or draining the water.

This is a very simple and easy kid friendly noodles recipe too, and the recipe is flexible in terms of flavor and you may add more suitable spices and flavors to this dish, as you like. And this is my 400th blog post in this blog as well!!

easy instant pot buttered noodles recipe

This is a creamy instant pot buttered noodles recipe with creamy texture coming from the butter and more flavor from the onion and garlic powder that we use.

You may adjust the flavors as you desire.

If you do not want to use garlic or onion powders but want to try some other flavors, you can easily do that!

If you like to additional black pepper powder or dried oregano powder (than recommended in the recipe), you can just sprinkle it on the prepared buttered noodles and enjoy!

instant pot buttered noodles with amish style noodles

I initially used the Amish style narrow home style egg noodles (which had a cooking time of 12 to 20 minutes on stove top according to the directions in the package for stove top cooking, but its cooked faster in the instant pot!) for this instant pot buttered noodles recipe.

I have tried this with other kind of egg noodles like the wide egg noodles and so adjusting the cooking time accordingly which should work for most of the egg noodles (they cook really faster!).

How To Make Instant Pot Buttered Egg Noodles?

We use the following ingredients to make the buttered noodles in instant pot.

12 oz egg noodles (wide or extra wide egg noodles works well, do not use thin egg noodles with this recipe)

4 cups water or vegetable broth

salt as needed

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

3 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons dried oregano powder

1 teaspoon black pepper powder

whole milk ½ cup

shredded cheese ¼ cup

Step By Step Instructions

Ad the egg noodles to the instant pot and also add the salt, onion powder and garlic powder (sprinkle across the noodles).

Pour the water through top of the noodles and place the butter on top (preferably sliced into cubes).

Close the instant pot with lid in sealing position, and pressure cook in high pressure for 1 minute.

Once the cooking is done, wait for a natural pressure release for about 12 minutes. Carefully and gradually do a controlled manual release by turning the lid to venting position gradually and slowly after about 12 minutes of natural pressure release.

Once the pressure is all released, carefully open the lid. Add the olive oil, milk and cheese, stir in everything gently.

Sprinkle the oregano powder and black pepper powder and the delicious buttered noodles is ready!

Spaghetti Noodles To Make Instant Pot Buttered Noodles

Can you use spaghetti noodles for preparing buttered noodles?

Spaghetti noodles is very tasty for preparing buttered noodles but may need more water and more cooking time for preparation.

As I told earlier, egg noodles tend to cook much faster.

So if you use spaghetti noodles, it usually comes as 16 oz noodles, for which I recommend start using 5 cups of water but you have to see if the water is barely covering the noodles and if needed you may add a little more water.

I have noticed that the egg noodles actually cook perfectly even if all the noodles are not covered in water so do not add more water than recommended for the egg noodles.

Also use 3 minutes of cooking time for spaghetti noodles instead of the one minute cooking time that we use for egg noodles here.

How To Make The Buttered Egg Noodles Taste Better?

Plain buttered egg noodles is awesome because its easy to prepare and delicious on its own and its kid friendly as well.

However, you can always make egg noodles or any buttered noodles taste even better by simply adding flavors of your choice.

I have used tried using sauteed onions along with garlic powder, oregano powder, black pepper powder etc for more flavor. You can even sprinkle more spices like red chili flakes if you like it spicy.

Sauteing onions is more tasty and add more flavor, but just using onion powder is way more easier which simplified the recipe.

Most of the time, we go for buttered noodles as a side or when we are in a hurry, so adding onion powder, garlic powder and any flavor of your choice will help you make flavorful buttered noodles which is also more easy to do!

Also you may use vegetable broth instead of water if you want to improve the flavor of the buttered noodles.

See more flavors you can add in for making the buttered noodles taste even better (some of these we have used in the recipe):

garlic powder

onion powder

dried oregano powder

black pepper powder

shredded cheese

whole milk

fresh or dried parsley

red chili flakes – to make it spicy if you like

cayenne pepper – to make spicy

broth  instead of water – to add more flavor

Variations for different kinds of pasta to make buttered noodles

In this buttered noodles recipe, we use egg noodles but you may want to make buttered noodles or pasta with other popular kinds of pasta as well.

So here I am giving you an idea on how to make buttered noodles or pasta with other kinds of pasta noodles as well based on the pasta to water ratio and cooking time I have used for different kinds of pasta shells.

12 oz egg noodles 4 cups of water – cook 1 minute in high pressure and 12 minutes natural pressure release

16 oz regular spaghetti noodles 6 cups of water – cook for 3 minutes in high pressure and 12 minutes natural pressure release

16 oz thin spaghetti noodles (not angel hair pasta which is different) 6 cups of water – cook for 2 minutes and 12 minutes natural pressure release

16 oz elbow pasta 4 cups of water – cook 1 minute in high pressure and 10 minutes natural pressure release

16 oz rotini pasta 4 cups of water – cook 1 minute in high pressure and 10 minutes natural pressure release

16 oz penne pasta 5 cups of water – cook 1 minute in high pressure and 10 minutes natural pressure  release

16 oz farfalle or bow tie pasta 5 cups of water – cook 1 minute in high pressure and 10 minutes natural pressure release

16 oz medium shells 5 cups of water – cook for 1 minute in high pressure and 10 minutes natural pressure release

16 oz small shells 4 cups of water – cook for 1 minute in high pressure and 10 minutes natural pressure release

So here you can read the buttered egg noodles recipe in detail.

Instant Pot Buttered Egg Noodles Pasta With Garlic

Instant pot egg noodles with butter and garlic makes a simple, easy and delicious one pot kid friendly vegetarian meal which you can prepare with very minimal efforts.
I prepared this dish initially using Amish homestyle narrow egg noodles and I have also tried this now with other kinds of egg noodles like the wide egg noodles and so adjusting the cooking time which should work for most of the egg noodles.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz egg noodles (wide or extra wide egg noodles works well, do not use thin egg noodles with this recipe)
  • 4 cups water or vegetable broth
  • salt as needed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese I use cheddar or Mexican blend
US Customary – Metric

Instructions

  • Place the noodles in the instant pot.
  • Also add the salt, onion powder and garlic powder (sprinkle across the noodles).
  • Add the water by pouring the water through top of the noodles (which helps to prevent the top layer noodles from drying). Place the butter on top (preferably sliced into cubes).
  • Close the instant pot with lid in sealing position, press manual and pressure cook in high for 1 minute (in case you use spaghetti noodles instead of egg noodles, you will need to break the spaghetti noodles and make sure to barely cover the noodles in water and cook for 3 minutes. This is because spaghetti noodles need more cooking time than egg noodles).
  • Once the cooking is done (which will be done once enough pressure is built up inside the pot), wait for a natural pressure release for about 12 minutes. After that, carefully and gradually do a controlled manual pressure release.
  • Once the pressure is all released, carefully open the lid. Add the olive oil and gently stir the noodles (you can use a fork or good quality spatula) so the top layer of noodles will get mixed up with the rest of the noodles. Also add the milk and shredded cheese, stir in gently to blend with the noodles.
  • Also sprinkle the black pepper powder and oregano powder, gently mix in and serve!

Notes

If you are using 16 oz of egg noodles use one more cup of water and one more tablespoon of butter and carefully do a manual release after about 12 minutes of natural pressure release. 
If there is little liquid left once you open the pot, this extra liquid is good as it will make the pasta more creamy and saucy as it sits for a while. 
The noodles will become more delicious as it sits in for a while which gives more time for the flavors from butter, garlic and other flavors to blend in. But for the best results, you can serve it hot as soon as its prepared!
You can also saute an onion (finely chopped) before adding the pasta instead of using onion powder if you like, which is even more flavorful (I have tried both ways and while adding onions is more flavorful, adding onion powder is more easy to do.).

      We do not need to drain the noodles in this recipe. Since we add the butter & spices to the water or broth early on, it adds to the sauce! Thank you 🙂

    Absolutely delicious! So quick and easy, also. Did not change one ingredient and next time I make this, which will be this week based on the yums from the family, I’m going to add your sautéed onions suggestion.
    Would this recipe’s cook time work for your wide egg noodles recipe? 1 minute cook with a 12 minute npr?
    Thanks so much for posting this recipe and your other recipes I’ve just pinned.

      Hi Ryan, Thank you so much for your feedback & recipe rating 🙂 I very much appreciate it!

      1 minute cook time with 12 minute npr should work for wide egg noodles in the instant pot. What type of eg noodles did you use this time? On the other hand, if you are using spaghetti noodles, the cooking time and the amount of water required will be different which I have explained in the recipe. Hope this helps. Thanks again!
