Directions
1. Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Add the flour to the melted butter, stirring constantly, to create a roux. Cook for about 2 minutes until it’s a light golden color.
4. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. Add the cooked noodles to the sauce, stirring to coat them evenly.
7. Allow the noodles to cook in the sauce for a couple of minutes to meld flavors, then serve warm.
Variations & Tips
For a richer flavor, try adding a cup of shredded cheddar cheese in addition to the parmesan. If you have picky eaters, consider incorporating cooked chicken or ham to make the dish more substantial. For a healthier twist, you can substitute whole wheat noodles and use low-fat milk. Don’t hesitate to add your favorite veggies like peas, carrots, or broccoli for an added nutritious boost.
