Notes
Add frozen peas, corn, or mixed vegetables for extra nutrients. Spice it up with crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne. Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Use shell pasta, rotini, or bowties instead of egg noodles. Add beef broth instead of milk for a deeper flavor (but less creamy).
