This recipe calls for using spaghetti, but the beauty of buttered noodles is that you can use almost any dried pasta you have in your pantry. Try some of these other pasta shapes: * Egg noodles * Elbow macaroni * Penne * Ziti * Farfalle * Rigatoni * Orecchiette Pro Tip: If you don't have a kitchen scale, two ounces of spaghetti is about three-quarters of an inch in diameter (about 2 centimeters). If you use elbow macaroni or a dry pasta of similar size, 2 ounces is about 1/2 cup. If you want to make buttered egg noodles, 2 ounces of dry egg noodles is about 1 cup.
