Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 oz of fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the ½ cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add 1 tsp of salt, ½ tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir well to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Add the 4 oz of cubed cream cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and fully combined with the butter and garlic mixture.
  • Pour in the ½ cup of heavy cream and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the ½ cup of sour cream and ½ tsp of smoked paprika. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Add the drained fettuccine back into the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss gently to ensure each strand of pasta is coated in the luscious sauce.
  • Spoon the Noodles Romanoff onto plates or into bowls. You can garnish with additional cheddar cheese or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for an extra touch. Serve warm and enjoy the comforting flavors!
