Skillet and Noodles in Creamy Sauce



This is a favorite in our house.  You can make it with beef, chicken, or pork.  You can use almost any kind of noodle you would like.  It is a basic noodle with a cream sauce recipe that you can adapt and make your own.  We have even made it with a tomato base and it was delicious.  Have fun with it.


Some type of meat
1lb. beef or pork, browned or 2 lg. chicken breasts, chopped and cooked
2-3T. cooking oil
1 onion, chopped
4T. flour
7c. chicken broth
1 - 12oz. box of pasta (elbow, rotini, bow tie, egg noodles or your favorite)
1/4c. chopped chives or parsley - optional
1c. grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste


Brown or cook your choice of meat.  Remove from skillet.  Add cooking oil and onions.  Saute on medium-high heat until tender.  Add flour to onions and cook until golden, about 1 minute.  Add broth, noodles and bring to boil.  Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, covered, stirring often until pasta begins to soften.  (5 minutes)  Add the meat you cooked into the noodles and simmer for about 4 more minutes.  Your pasta should be al dente.  Off heat, stir in chives and Parmesan cheese.  Salt and pepper to taste.
