5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy.

Girl Dinner

At my house, I call these noodles “girl dinner.”

A “girl dinner” is a casual, often aesthetically pleasing meal made of readily available ingredients like cheese, butter, or bread. It’s essentially a quick and easy meal that doesn’t contain protein or fit the needs of most men in the house.

It’s a term popularized on TikTok, often used playfully to describe a simple meal assembled without much effort.
