6 oz. egg noodles
1 tsp. salt (optional)
2 tbsp. butter
1 1/2 qts. water
1 1/2 c. Heinz ketchup (there is no other ketchup!)

Using a large saucepan, cook noodles according to directions on package. Drain water when noodles are done, put butter and noodles back into same pan. Over low to medium heat, stir until butter is melted and noodles are coated with butter.

Next, add ketchup, stirring again until all noodles are coated and ketchup thickens, remove from heat and serve. Salt and pepper to suit individual taste, and if you love ketchup as much as I do, add some more.
