- 12 oz egg noodles wide
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes) plus more if needed
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3 1/2 cups Italian Cheese Blend divided
- 6 oz ham cubes
- 1 tablespoon parsely fresh, finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon basil dried
Butter a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside.
Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Add salt to water for boiling. Do not rinse noodles.
In a large bowl, whisk the cream, milk, flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper.
Stir in 2 cups of shredded cheese. Add the noodles and toss to coat. Add any more salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer to your prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1½ cups of shredded cheese over the noodle mixture.
Bake at 350°F for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly, the cheese melts, and it's slightly browning on top.
Let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
