Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces dried egg noodles
- 12 ounces Spam (original or low-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt (for boiling water)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the dried egg noodles. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the noodles cook, dice the Spam into small cubes (about 1/2 inch).
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced Spam and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the Spam is crispy and golden brown. Remove the Spam from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the sour cream, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the mixture is smooth and heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.
Stir in the paprika and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Add the cooked noodles and half of the crispy Spam back to the skillet. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Transfer the Spam and Noodles Romanoff to a serving platter or individual plates. Top with the remaining crispy Spam and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
