1

Cook noodles to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; cover to keep warm.
2

Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add bread crumbs and onion; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is crisp-tender, stirring constantly.

Stir in marjoram, salt, pepper, cooked egg noodles and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cook until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently.

Pasta served with oil and bread crumbs is as Italian as pasta sauce with garlic. In some regions of Italy, bread is toasted, then grated into crumbs. In other regions, soft bread is made into crumbs, as in the recipe below. Commercially prepared bread crumbs, with their flour-like smoothness, would not work in this recipe.
