Gorgeouses, this is the easiest recipe ever. And, YUMMY! When NEXT you go to the grocery store, buy yourself some egg noodles, preferably these spelt ones for added fiber and vitamins and other nutritiony goodnesses. They’re quick, and they’re delish, and — added bonus? — kids love ‘em.

2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
2.5 cups of 1% milk
1 tsp spice mix (any brand you want, i.e., Mrs. Dash Original Seasoning)
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
3/4 lb or 340 g broad egg noodles (preferably SPELT!)

Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Boil large pot full of water.

5. Gradually whisk in the milk.
6. Turn the heat back on to medium.
7. Add spices and stir until mix thickens.
8. Remove from heat.
9. Throw egg noodles into pot of boiling water for no more than FIVE minutes. Then drain and rinse them in a colander.
10. Add egg noodles to milk mixture, and crumble in the grated cheese…. (You can add in some veggies here, or tuna, tofu, etc….)
11. Spray a large casserole dish and pour in the noodle mix.
12. Cover tightly with tinfoil (shiny side down), and place it in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
If you want it nice and crispy on top, uncover the dish and turn the heat up to broil for, like, 2-4 minutes (WATCH IT DOESN’T BURN — trust me…).
