Description

This creamy noodles recipe features tender egg noodles tossed in a rich and silky garlic Parmesan cream sauce. Perfect as a comforting side dish or a satisfying main course when paired with your favorite protein or veggies, this easy stovetop recipe comes together quickly for a delicious meal.

Ingredients

Noodles

  • 8 ounces egg noodles or pasta of choice

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • pinch of nutmeg (optional)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles or chosen pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and aromatic, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Simmer Cream Mixture: Stir in the heavy cream along with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of nutmeg if using. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Add Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir continuously until it melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Toss Noodles in Sauce: Add the cooked noodles back into the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat all noodles evenly with the creamy sauce. Let it simmer for another minute to ensure everything is heated through and the sauce thickens enough.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the noodles for a burst of color and flavor. Serve the creamy noodles warm as a side dish or add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables for a complete main course.

Notes

  • For a lighter version of the sauce, substitute half-and-half in place of heavy cream.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a handful of fresh spinach to brighten up the flavor.
