Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
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, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
Let the cream and butter mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Add the poppy seeds, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted into the sauce, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the cream sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the noodles are warmed through and the sauce clings to them beautifully.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates or bowls. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious Poppy Seed Noodles N Cream!
