Notes

For extra nutrition, add vegetables like spinach or peas. Substitute egg noodles with gluten-free options if needed. Store leftovers in airtight containers; they last 3-4 days in the fridge. For reheating, use the stovetop with a splash of broth to maintain creaminess. Feel free to customize with spices or creamy additions for different flavors.
