Buttered Egg Noodles with Peas and Parmesan

This is a simple weeknight dinner that comes together in one pot while you wait for water to boil. Egg noodles get tossed with melted butter, sweet frozen peas and a good amount of parmesan for a creamy-tasting dish with no actual cream. It's quick, filling and fits easily into a flexible macro plan since you can measure out noodles and cheese to match your targets.
