How to Make Easy Cheesy Noodles
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and cube the parsnip into small (1/2-inch) pieces.
- Toss the parsnip cubes with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- While the parsnips roast, cook the egg noodles according to package directions (usually 8-9 minutes). Drain well.
- In a small saucepan, heat the half and half and plain yogurt over low heat until warm. Remove from heat.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the warmed yogurt mixture to the melted butter and whisk until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, roasted parsnips, black pepper, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
- Add the cooked noodles and stir to combine.
- Pour the noodle mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- In a small bowl, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Combine with the fresh breadcrumbs.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
