Ingredients
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
Step 3
Let the cream and butter mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Step 4
Add the poppy seeds, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted into the sauce, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
Step 5
Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the cream sauce.
Step 6
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the noodles are warmed through and the sauce clings to them beautifully.
Step 7
Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates or bowls. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious Poppy Seed Noodles N Cream!
