Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Pasta

Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until just before al dente.
Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Base

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and mixed vegetables, cooking until the onion turns translucent.

Step 3: Herb & Spice Infusion

Stir in garlic, salt, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper for deep flavor.

Step 4: Make It Velvety

Add the remaining butter and sprinkle in the flour, mixing until it forms a paste.

Step 5: Build the Sauce

Add heavy cream and simmer for 3–5 minutes until thickened.

Step 7: The Grand Finale

Serve hot, topped with fresh parsley and crushed Ritz crackers for a crispy, pie-like touch.
Enjoy!

Notes

For extra richness, swap half of the heavy cream for whole milk.
Use rotisserie chicken for added convenience and flavor.
Add mushrooms or bell peppers for more depth and texture.
Leftovers reheat well, but add a splash of broth or milk to maintain creaminess.
