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

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettucine noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the sauce base: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the salted butter along with the cream cheese. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Add the sour cream and seasoning: Lower the heat and mix in the sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and half of the shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until the sauce is evenly combined and heated through, being careful not to let it boil to prevent curdling.
  4. Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked fettucine noodles to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the noodles thoroughly with the creamy sauce.
  5. Finishing touch: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and paprika over the noodles. Stir lightly and allow the dish to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately: Transfer the Noodles Romanoff to serving plates or bowls and enjoy while hot for the best creamy texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for the creamiest result.
  • Be careful not to boil the sauce after adding sour cream to avoid curdling.
  • For added protein, grilled chicken or sautéed mushrooms can be stirred in before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and gently reheated on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste, especially the salt and paprika for desired flavor intensity.
