Weis Quality Classic Egg Noodles
What it is
These are classic egg noodles shaped into squares, designed for convenience in dishes like pot pies. They are made with enriched flour, meaning certain nutrients have been added back after processing. The square shape makes them easy to layer and portion in baked casseroles and other comforting meals. They offer a familiar texture and taste that complements a variety of savory ingredients.
How people cook with it
These noodles are a versatile pantry staple for many home cooks.
- Layered in pot pies
- Added to baked casseroles
- Mixed into hearty soups
- Served as a simple side dish
To prepare these noodles, bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the noodle squares, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook according to package directions until they reach your desired tenderness, typically a few minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly. They can then be incorporated directly into your favorite recipes, such as a creamy chicken pot pie filling or a baked pasta dish. For a simpler preparation, toss them with butter and herbs.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to long, thin egg noodles, these pot pie squares offer a more substantial bite and a shape that holds up well in baked dishes. Their flat, square form makes them ideal for creating distinct layers in casseroles and pot pies, preventing them from becoming lost among other ingredients.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient noodle option for baked dishes will appreciate these.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused noodles in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to keep them from going stale.
