Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, stir in the flour, whisking continuously to form a smooth paste (roux), and cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 4
Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking and cooking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add the chopped dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine, and let the flavors meld for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Toss the cooked noodles into the skillet with the creamy dill sauce, ensuring all the noodles are well-coated.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with optional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
