Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, stir in the flour, whisking continuously to form a smooth paste (roux), and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking and cooking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, and let the flavors meld for 2 minutes.
Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet with the creamy dill sauce, ensuring all the noodles are well-coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with optional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
