Homemade Chunky Egg Noodles With Cream Sauce Recipe

A recipe for handmade chunky egg noodles with a homemade creamy sauce.

Ingredients

Noodles
2 tablespoons cold butter
1/4 cup cold milk
3 large eggs whipped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Cream Sauce
1/2 cup butter
1 - 8oz package cream cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups milk
6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Noodles

These noodles are meant to be big and chunky so hand roll and cut them rather than using a pasta maker.

In a mixing bowl but the butter, milk and eggs and mix with the paddle attachment or use a wire whisk if you are hand mixing.

Mix the salt into 1 cup of the flour and mix into the wet. Mix in the next 1 cup. You may not need the entire final 1/2 cup or you may need more. You want the dough to be a soft, but not sticky consistancy. Knead the dough until a smooth ball forms.

Roll the dough out about 1/4 inch thick. Try to keep all the dough the same thickness so they will all cook at the same time.

Using a knife or pizza cutter cut the noodles into pieces about 1/4 inch wide and 2 1/2 inches in length so they will be big chunky noodles. Toss extra flour over the noodles so they do not get sticky.

Using a large pot, fill with water and bring to a boil. Drop in the noodles and cook for 5-8 minutes until done. Drain all the water out and put the noodles into a serving bowl. Put a tablespoon of butter and using a spatula, gently coat and toss the noodles so they do not stick together.

Cream Sauce

Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes, add the cream cheese stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly . Thin by adding more milk if it is too thick. Serve with homemade egg noodles.
