Tender noodles in velvety cheese sauce, easy to make and ideal for cozy, satisfying comfort food.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Noodles

01 - 2 packets instant ramen noodles, seasoning packets discarded

→ Broth and Dairy

02 - 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
03 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
04 - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
05 - 1/2 cup milk or unsweetened dairy-free alternative
06 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

→ Seasonings

07 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
09 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Garnishes

10 - 2 green onions, chopped
11 - Crushed red pepper flakes, optional

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a simmer over medium heat. Add ramen noodles and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Drain noodles and set aside.
02 - In the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add softened cream cheese and stir until fully melted and smooth. Gradually pour in milk, whisking until the mixture combines into a homogenous sauce.
03 - Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure all seasonings are evenly incorporated.
04 - Reduce heat to low. Gradually add shredded sharp cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and sauce is smooth.
05 - Return cooked noodles to the saucepan. Toss gently to ensure noodles are evenly coated with cheese sauce.
06 - Transfer the cheesy noodles to serving bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and, if desired, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
07 - Serve immediately while hot for best texture and flavor.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a creamier result, use whole milk or a barista-style dairy-free alternative. Ramen can be customized with sautéed vegetables, cooked protein, or additional spices to taste.
