Noodles With Buttered Crumbs Recipe

Directions:

1. In a very deep kettle, bring the water, salt and oil to a full rolling boil over high heat. Sprinkle in the noodles, return to a boil. Cover tightly, remove from the heat and allow the noodles to stand for 25 minutes, or until they are tender. Drain in a colander. Add 1/3 cup of the butter to the noodle kettle and melt it over low heat. Return the drained noodles to the kettle and toss lightly.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, melt the remaining 1/3 cup of butter over medium heat and add the cracker crumbs. Stir and toast until the crumbs begin to turn golden. Add the parsley, poppy seeds, and black pepper, and blend. Transfer the buttered noodles to a serving dish, sprinkle the buttered crumbs on the top, and dust with a small amount of paprika.
