For the Noodles
For the Creamy Sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of paprika or hot sauce
For Garnish
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 7-8 minutes, until al dente. Drain the noodles well and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In a separate saucepan over low heat, melt the cream cheese while stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once smooth, add the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Season the sauce with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of paprika or a few drops of hot sauce if desired for extra flavor.
- Combine the Noodles and Sauce: Add the drained noodles to the saucepan with the creamy cheese sauce. Toss carefully to coat all noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water or milk to thin it to your preferred consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the coated noodles to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if using. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this creamy, cheesy comfort dish.
Notes
- Reserve some pasta cooking water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
- For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
- To make it spicier, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce according to taste.
- Egg noodles can be replaced with any type of pasta you prefer.
