Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Sauté the Aromatics
While the noodles are cooking, melt a knob of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened. Add the diced bacon and continue to cook until it becomes crispy.
Prepare the Sauce
In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream with the pressed garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine
Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and add them directly to the skillet with the crispy bacon and onion. Add the cubed processed cheese and stir until it begins to melt.
Finish and Serve
Pour the garlic-sour cream mixture over the noodles. Stir everything together over low heat until the sauce is creamy and coats the noodles well. Do not let it boil. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or chives and an extra sprinkle of grated hard cheese, if desired.
