Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
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 toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic cloves (minced) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic mixture, whisking constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to combine, followed by the heavy cream. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Allow the noodles to warm through for 1-2 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your Creamy Noodles!
