Egg Noodles: What Are They and How Do I Use Them?


My grandmother put egg noodles in chicken soup, but I didn’t know they were different from spaghetti or other noodles until well after I left home and started cooking for myself. 

Now I use egg noodles in my own chicken soup, in casseroles and under meat stews.  Generally egg noodles are made of flour, salt, water and eggs and extra egg yolks, although some egg noodles, called ‘No Yolks,’ are made with dried egg whites. 

Egg noodles are wider than most pastas—at least 1/4-inch wide and sometimes nearly 1-inch wide. Pappardelle, a wide Italian noodle, is also available as Egg Pappardelle.  All these noodles generally require 10-12 minutes of cooking, just a few minutes longer than spaghetti.
