My neighbor has been making this for 30 years and I finally got her to share the recipe

to feel a little special. 

Serve this cowboy butter pasta straight from the white casserole dish with a big spoon so everyone can scoop out those buttery, garlicky noodles. It pairs really well with a simple green salad, steamed broccoli, or roasted vegetables to balance the richness. Garlic bread or a crusty baguette is great for soaking up any buttery sauce left in the dish. For protein, add baked chicken tenders, grilled sausage, or even leftover rotisserie chicken
