Creamy Noodles

This dish is inspired by one of my students. I have a future foodie in my class and she LOVES food, and I'm not talking kid food. She eats well and has a lot of knowledge about food-particularly for a six year old! She even dressed up as a hot dog for Halloween- she cracks me up. The other day we were discussing food and she told me how her mom makes these creamy noodles. She went on and on in detail about these noodles and I was seriously drooling by the time she finished describing them to me. Of course she didn't know what was in them or how her mom made them but I was desperate to have something similar so I just threw this together and boy was it gooooood. It's a lot of points for a side dish but it is worth EVERY SINGLE POINT. This is one of those dishes where I can assure you that my future children will be eating them and telling their teacher about them because I will be making this over and over and over again. It's creamy but not heavy, delicious. Make these soon- you'll be glad you did.
