Ingredients

• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups cooked ham, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.

Step 5

Stir in the frozen peas, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the peas to heat through and the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 7

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the noodles are heated through.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
