Garlic Cloves:
2, minced
Unsalted Butter:

All-Purpose Flour:
2 tablespoons
Milk:
2 cups
Onion Powder:

Instructions
- Cook the Egg Noodles: Prepare the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Broccoli: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccoli and cook until tender, about 4–5 minutes. If using frozen broccoli, cook until heated through. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Prepare Cheese Sauce: Push broccoli to the edges of the skillet. Melt butter in the center and whisk in flour to create a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes. Season with onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add Cheese: Stir in cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine and Serve: Add cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until coated in the cheesy sauce. Serve warm.
Notes
- For added protein, consider stirring in cooked chicken or turkey.
- Enhance the cheese sauce with a pinch of paprika or mustard powder.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat noodles.
