Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until creamy and well combined.
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat to allow the flavors to meld together.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the noodles for a fresh pop of color and flavor.
Serve the smothered noodles immediately as a standalone dish or pair with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
