Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 oz. fettucine noodles (half of a 1 lb. box)

Sauce

  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. salted butter
  • 16 oz. sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettucine noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the sauce base: In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the salted butter. Add the cream cheese and stir constantly until it is smooth and melted.
  3. Add sour cream and seasonings: Lower heat to medium-low and slowly mix in the sour cream, ensuring a creamy consistency without allowing it to curdle. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and half (1/2 cup) of the shredded parmesan cheese until well combined.
  4. Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked fettucine noodles to the sauce and gently toss to coat evenly with the creamy mixture.
  5. Finish and serve: Transfer the noodles to a serving dish, sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top, and lightly dust with paprika for color and a subtle smoky flavor. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for the creamiest texture.
  • Reserve some pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
  • For extra flavor, add freshly minced garlic instead of garlic powder.
  • Can be garnished with fresh parsley or chives for color and freshness.
  • Reheat gently to avoid curdling the sour cream.
