Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 8 oz. fettucine noodles (half of a 1 lb. box)
Sauce
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp. salted butter
- 16 oz. sour cream
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettucine noodles and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Prepare the sauce: In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the cream cheese and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
- Add sour cream and spices: Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and half of the shredded Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the noodles evenly with the creamy sauce.
- Finish with cheese and paprika: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the noodles and dust with paprika. Stir lightly and cook for another 2 minutes on low heat to blend flavors and melt the cheese.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm for a rich and comforting meal.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat sour cream and light cream cheese.
- Can be enhanced with sautéed mushrooms or cooked chicken for added protein.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Ensure noodles are drained well to prevent watery sauce.
