Ingredients
- 300 grams egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
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 toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic cloves (minced) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Step 3
Sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic mixture, whisking constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 4
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to combine, followed by the heavy cream. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce.
Step 7
Allow the noodles to warm through for 1-2 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your Creamy Noodles!
