This parsley pasta with butter and garlic is a bright & fresh dinner, ready in 15 minutes! Served in a warm garlicky sauce, loaded with fresh greens. This is a great dinner recipe for parsley lovers, and has a fantastic flavor.
A simple and delicious side dish or quick lunch that everyone will love. Or you can serve these parsley noodles with easy homemade garlic knots for a hearty plant-based dinner.
This parsley pasta may look plain but it’s are absolutely loaded with flavor! Parsley is my absolute favorite herb, I love the bright and fresh flavor of these greens, and they pair so well with noodles. I always get a few bunch of fresh parsley from my Misfits Market produce delivery, and I turned one of these bunches into a light and flavorful dinner idea.
Parsley is traditionally served as a garnish here in the states, but I love using it front & center in my recipes to make it the star. If you are looking for recipes with parsley you have in the fridge, we always love our easy parsley tabbouleh salad, my favorite tropical parsley smoothie, and hearty warming parsley noodle soup.
Parsley and pasta go so well together in this delicious dinner dish, completed with a simple and quick garlic sauce.

Grow Fresh Parsley on Your Counter All Year Long
We got this great 6-Pod Aerogarden which is fantastic for growing herbs in the winter. We actually got it when we lived in a smaller apartment, but even now that we own an acreage we still use it year-round! I love growing herbs on my countertop like fresh basil, dill, mint, sage, thyme, parsley, and lemon balm.
It uses LED lights and water, so no messy soil needed – you can have fresh herbs at your fingertips any time. I love picking a few springs of parsley to chop on pastas, adding basil leaves to soups, and tossing some dill in with my pasta salads. This Aerogarden is a great gift for anyone who would like fresh herbs… no big kitchen or green thumb required!

- Butter or Olive Oil: If I don’t have butter, I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- 2 cloves garlic
- Lemon Juice: Use fresh lemons if you have it, or this really great bottled lemon that you can keep in your pantry if you don’t have fresh lemons. This organic lemon is great for dressings, dips, and even cocktails – and it tastes fresh, which is great to have around if you don’t use lemon juice everyday but still want to keep some around.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
for some fun varieties!
