Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Egg noodles
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tsp Paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized.
Sprinkle the paprika over the caramelized onions and stir to evenly coat them in the spice. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to toast the paprika and enhance its flavor.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet with the onions and gently toss to combine. Ensure the noodles are evenly coated in the buttery, paprika mixture.
Season the dish with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the noodles to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Optional: Serve with a dollop of sour cream for a creamy, tangy touch.
