Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz ham (diced or thinly sliced)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 2 tbsp parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring regularly, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through and lightly browned on the edges.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt fully, stirring occasionally.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the milk or heavy cream to create a silky sauce.
Add the drained noodles to the skillet and toss them with the butter-ham mixture until evenly coated.
Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and toss again until the cheese is evenly distributed and melted.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Buttered Noodles with Ham!
