- Don't skip the reserved pasta water. It helps create a silky sauce and keeps everything creamy.
- Let the onions soften completely before adding the pasta for the best flavor.
- Stir the sour cream in over low heat so it stays smooth and creamy.
- Garnish with extra chives just before serving for the freshest flavor.
Variations
- Add Bacon: Crispy bacon takes these noodles to another level.
- Mix in Parmesan: A handful of grated Parmesan makes the sauce even richer.
- Add Mushrooms: Sauté sliced mushrooms with the onions.
- Make it Spicy: Sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes.
- Turn it into a Meal: Stir in shredded rotisserie chicken or sliced smoked
sausage.
What To Serve With This
These creamy noodles make an incredible side dish for grilled chicken, steak, pork chops, meatloaf, roasted turkey, or baked ham. They're also delicious alongside roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, warm gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk or a little extra sour cream to bring back the creamy texture. Freezing isn't
recommended since the sour cream sauce can separate after thawing.
