Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free egg noodles according to package directions until just barely al dente — they should still have a firm bite at the center, as they will continue cooking in the oven. Drain in a colander and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tbsp butter with the garlic-infused oil over medium heat until the butter is foamy. Add the scallion green tops and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
