- 12 ounces egg noodles, wide
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream

- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt (with parsley flakes), plus more if needed

Notes
- Do I bake it covered? We bake this recipe uncovered so we get a creamy mac and cheese with a bit of a crunchy top. If you wish, you can bake covered for 20 minutes so that the top noodles don't get as crisp, and bake uncovered for the remaining 10 minutes.
- Make ahead. Prepare the mac and cheese as written, but don't bake it. Instead, let it cool a bit, cover it, and store it in the fridge for 24 hours, or wrap the pan with plastic and again with foil and freeze for 2-3 months. If needed thaw in the fridge and bake uncovered.
- Leftovers. Portion the mac and cheese into individual servings or store in a single container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop. Add a little milk or cream to help smooth out the texture.
