Egg Noodles
Sturdy in texture, egg noodles are often used in casseroles or paired with
cream sauce.
Egg noodles are wide, flat noodles that contain up to 20% whole eggs. They have a slightly higher fat count than most noodles.
Because of their sturdy texture, they’re often used in casseroles or paired with cream
or meat sauces.
Varieties
Egg noodles are usually short, flat noodles, but may come in the form of fettuccine,
tagliatille, and other shapes.
Buying and storing tips
Look for egg noodles in the pasta or bulk food section of natural food or grocery stores.
Store them, unopened, in a cool, dry cupboard for six to eight months.
Availability
Egg noodles are available year-round.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Add noodles a few at a time to salted boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to
the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cooking time
varies depending on the type of pasta. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Toss
with asparagus, olive oil, and grated Parmesan, or use in casseroles.
