Shake pan until flames die out.

Continue cooking, scraping bottom of pan too incorporate any browned bits.

Add stock, onions, and prune pure and boil until reduced by half. Stir in 2 tablespoons of butter, just until melted. Set aside, keeping sauce warm. To serve, melt remaining butter, add cooked noodles and toss to reheat and coat; season to taste with salt and pepper and mound on 2 dinner plates.
