Ingredients:
3 packets instant ramen noodles (chicken or beef)
1 packet of ramen flavoring (discard the other two)
1 cup reserved pasta water (just for safe keeping)
3/4 cup milk (2% preferred, but any will work)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon butter
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon grated parmesan
3 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives, optional
Directions:
- Boil 6 cups of water for the ramen and cook according to the package. Keep one flavor packet to the side, and discard the others.
- Once the ramen noodles are al dente, keep one cup of pasta water to the side, and drain the rest of the water. Set the noodles aside.
- In the same pot the ramen was boiled in, place on low heat on the stove. Add the butter and gently melt it, add in the milk, and shredded cheese. Next, add in the garlic powder and the ramen flavor packet. Keeping the heat on low, continuously stir the mix until it's smooth.
- Add the cooked ramen noodles to the cheesy mix, and gently fold the noodles in to ensure it's evenly coated. If you need to thin the sauce, use the reserved pasta water as needed (optional). Serve the ramen warm and garnish with the green onions and parmesan.
