Ingredients

• 12 oz egg noodles
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups diced cooked ham
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, forming a roux.

Step 3

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. Mix until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 5

Add the diced ham, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine and heat the ham through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss until the noodles are fully coated in the sauce and evenly mixed.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Serve warm and enjoy this comforting Ham and Three Cheese Noodles dish!
