  5. Add the egg noodles and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream until fully combined.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth to maintain creaminess.
