Brown Butter Egg Noodles with Toasted Sesame Seeds

1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds 3 quarts water mixed with 2 tablespoons kosher salt 8 ounces kluski egg noodles 2 tablespoons good butter 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (about) 3/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (about) 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg 3 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley leaves Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast sesame seeds in preheated oven 6 to 8 minutes or until light golden. Set aside. Bring water and the 2 tablespoons kosher salt to a boil. Add noodles and cook uncovered 10 to 11 minutes or according to package directions until noodles are just cooked. Drain noodles, rinse once with cold water and let drain in colander. Place a 10- to 12-inch non-stick sauté pan over medium high heat, slice butter in quarter-inch pieces and place into pan. Keep swirling pan to let butter turn a medium to deep dark brown color - do not let it turn black. When butter is deeply brown, add all of the noodles and quickly stir to coat noodles. Sprinkle with the 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/8 teaspoon pepper and nutmeg and sauté 1½ to 2 minutes. Add reserved sesame seeds, stir and sauté 1 minute. Add parsley, mix in and serve. Adjust seasoning if necessary with salt and pepper
