I had first prepared this Brown Butter Vermicelli dish way back in 2012 inspired from a burnt pasta dish I read in a book or some cooking channel. I can’t exactly recall. We had it on repeat for few days and then I completely forgot about it until few days back.
Brown Buttered Vermicelli
Brown Butter as we know has an amazing way to enhance flavor of any dish. Be it cookies, rice or pasta. Tossing vermicell in brown butter not only made the flavor amazing but also gave this beautiful brown shade. It is one of those easy secret ingredients that can make any simple daily meal exotic and gourmet, flavorful and uplifting. I The taste of this Brown Butter Vermicelli was nutty, crispy and the color was strikingly dazzling. As much as I love Brown Butter Pasta, this simple brown butter vermicelli was equally interesting and different.

Key Ingredients required for this Brown Butter Noodles Dish

It’s one of those everyday kinda meals that don’t require any extra preparation time. This is not how I normally prepare vermicelli but it was nice for a change and both Arvind and Avyan loved it. Enough reason for me to mention it in my blog and share it with you.
