Ingredients
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional 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, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Step 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Step 5
Stir in the frozen peas, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the peas to heat through and the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
Step 7
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the noodles are heated through.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
