Notes
If you want to make this dish ahead and keep it warm in a crockpot, after noodles are combined with butter mixture put them into the crockpot. Set crockpot on the lowest setting and stir noodles frequently so they don't burn or stick to the bottom.
If you're using minced garlic from a jar, use 2 - ½ teaspoons.
After mixing the butter mixture into the noodles, taste for salt and add more to your liking. Noodles absorb a lot of salt. It may need 2 or more teaspoons.
Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd.
