INSTRUCTIONS
- Add 4 cups of water + 1 tsp salt to medium saucepan
- Cut open noodle package and dump noodles into colander over sink to drain
- Add drained noodles to salted water and bring to a boil. Once boiling set timer for 10 minutes
- When 5 minutes is up start making the cheese sauce in separate small saucepan
- In small saucepan combine heavy cream, softened cream cheese, and non dairy milk. Whisk until combined. (I soften mine on low heat with cream and milk for a few minutes to save time. The clumps eventually break up)
- Now whisk in cheddar, and parmesan cheese till fully combined and melty. Remove from heat
- When noodles have cooked for 10 minutes, strain and return to pan. (I cut my noodles into 1/2 inch pieces with kitchen scissors after straining to make serving and eating easier)
- Add cheese sauce to noodles. Stir until noodles are coated with cheesy goodness
- Enjoy!
