Step 1

Prepare the noodles as directed on the package. Don’t start the sauce until the noodles are already in the water.

Step 2

While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the saucepan. Saute the garlic until it swells and the mixture thickens a bit. This should only take about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the Worcestershire sauce and salt to the butter and garlic.

Step 5

Once combined, stir in the cream cheese until everything is melty and well incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream until the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Add the cheddar cheese to the cream sauce. Continue stirring until everything is completely melted and the sauce is smooth. (It should be relatively thick and velvety at this point.)

Step 8

Stir in the sour cream until it’s incorporated into the sauce. Add the dash of paprika and stir it in!

Step 9

Once cooked, drain the pasta noodles. Return them to the pan they were cooked in. Pour the cheese sauce over the noodles and stir until the noodles are all coated.
