Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the poppy seeds and stir for 1–2 minutes to toast them lightly.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese has melted and is smooth.
Pour in the milk gradually, whisking continuously to create a creamy sauce.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until fully melted and combined.
Season the sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet with the cheese sauce. Toss until the noodles are fully coated with the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
