Remember Betty Crocker’s boxed Noodles Romanoff? Here’s my homemade version that I know you’ll love.
Hello! I found inspiration to try this Noodles Romanoff recipe from a group I’m in called Recipe Requests and Discussion: A piece of the past. I’m in a few similar groups and also seem to find something great to try.
The sauce for these noodles is mostly sour creamed based, which I love. Along with butter, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese, how can these be bad?
When I was researching how to make these noodles I found this fun Betty Crocker Romanoff Noodles Ad on YouTube; it was cute to watch! Betty Crocker’s slogan was “At a great Russian restaurant you’d have Noodles Romanoff, a dish for a grand duchess. And at home, you can eat like a grand duchess with Betty Crocker Noodles Romanoff.”
A few of the recipes I found use cottage cheese and sour cream. I didn’t go that route on this recipe, but I may try next time.
How to make Noodles Romanoff:
You will need these ingredients:
- Fettuccine noodles
- Salted butter
- Sour cream
- Salt and pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Parmesan Cheese
- Paprika
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook pasta on the stove-top.
- Drain noodles and put back in hot pot and place back on the warm stove, but turn off the heat.
- Add butter and cream cheese to the pasta, stir until melted. Add the sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir.
- Add the pasta and sauce to a baking dish. Add remaining parmesan and sprinkle over paprika.
- Bake uncovered, bake the pasta is bubbly, and the top is golden brown, mine was done at 30 minutes.
What to serve with:
- Green salad and dressing
- Beer bread, biscuits or dinner rolls
Did you ever have Betty Crocker’s, Noodles Romanoff? I’d love to hear what you thought of it. Have a great week.
Noodles Romanoff
Ingredients:
- 8 oz. fettucine noodles (half of a 1 lb. box)
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp. salted butter
- 16 oz. sour cream
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 tsp. paprika
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook the noodles according to the box directions or until al dente. I used Barilla brand and cooked for 14 minutes. Drain and add noodles back to the hot pot. Put the pan on the stove where it’s still warm. Add the butter and cream cheese, stir until they are melted. Add the sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder and half of the parmesan cheese.
- Spray a small baking dish (about an 8×8 will work well) with non-stick spray. Add the noodles and sauce to the baking dish. Add the rest of the parmesan cheese over the noodles and sprinkle with the paprika.
- Place uncovered into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

I tried the Betty Crocker product in 1961 as a newly married woman living in Los Angeles. I was sorry when it was discontinued.

You asked if I’d ever had Betty Crocker noodles romonof., Yes, back in the day when I was a boy… Couldn’t get mom to make it, she didn’t use anything instant or boxed and was one of the 3 best cooks I’ve ever known. I had an aunt that loved it as much as I & she made it for me about every time I seen her, bless her. Anyway, the stuff was killer, best boxed stuff EVER, can’t imagine why they would quit making it….
Peggy says

Sarah Olson says
