Creamy Garlic Noodles {Homemade Pasta Roni}

Creamy Garlic Noodles {Homemade Pasta Roni} - SOOO much better than the boxed stuff. We make this all the time. Easy and super delicious! Everything is made in the same pot!  Ready in about 15 minutes. You'll never use the boxed stuff again.

One of my favorite quick side dishes is to open a box of Rice-A-Roni or Pasta-Roni. They taste good and are super easy to make. I saw a version of this recipe floating around on Pinterest and thought it sounded like Pasta Roni.  It had two of our favorite flavors, garlic and parmesan, so I decided to give it a try. OMG - SO delicious and super easy! This is a one-pot dish and it doesn't require precooking the noodles. They cook right in the pot! Awesome! 

We served the noodles with one of our favorite grilled chicken recipes, Rosemary Ranch Chicken. The noodles tasted great and were almost as easy as opening a box of Pasta-Roni. This will definitely be a regular side dish for us. I am already planning on making these again this coming weekend.
