Description

This Cheesy Noodles Recipe is a quick and delightful dish perfect for busy weeknights! With creamy melted cheese and tender noodles, it’s a family favorite!


Ingredients

  • Pasta: Any type of pasta will work, but we recommend macaroni, rotini, or penne for the best cheesy sauce coating.
  • Cream Cheese: Provides a creamy texture that binds the noodles and cheese together.
  • Shredded Cheese: A mix of mozzarella and cheddar offers a delightful melting quality and flavor. You can substitute with your favorite cheese blend.
  • Butter: Adds richness and helps in creating a silky sauce.
  • Milk: Used to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency.
  • Seasoning: A combination of garlic powder, onion powder, and salt enhances the overall taste of the dish.

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in cream cheese until melted and smooth.
  3. Add milk gradually while stirring until a creamy texture forms. Mix in shredded cheese and continue stirring until fully melted.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the cheese sauce, stirring to ensure every noodle is coated.
  5. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the pasta to keep a perfect texture.
  • Try different cheeses for unique flavors!
