Amish Sour Cream Noodles – The Old-Fashioned Creamy Comfort Dish I Make When Everyone Wants Seconds

How To Make Amish Sour Cream Noodles

Step 1: Cook The Egg Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Cook egg noodles according to package directions until tender but still slightly firm.

Drain well.

Step 2: Melt Butter And Cook Onion

In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.

If using onion, sauté until soft and translucent.

This adds lovely sweetness.

Step 3: Make The Creamy Sauce

Lower the heat.

Add sour cream and cottage cheese.

Stir gently until everything becomes smooth and creamy.

Do not let it boil.

Low heat keeps the sauce silky.

Step 4: Add The Noodles

Place cooked noodles into the skillet.

Toss gently until every noodle is coated.

Add salt and pepper.

If needed, loosen with a splash of pasta water.

Step 5: Serve Warm

Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Serve immediately while the sauce is rich and velvety.

What To Serve With Amish Sour Cream Noodles

These noodles pair beautifully with:

• roast chicken
• meatloaf
• pork chops

Or honestly?

A bowl by itself with black pepper on top is a perfectly acceptable comfort lunch.

Serve Fresh

Best texture right after mixing.

Storage Instructions
