Kroger Extra Wide Egg Noodles
What it is
These are broad, flat noodles made with eggs, giving them a richer flavor and a tender texture when cooked. The extra width means they hold sauces well and provide a satisfying bite in various dishes. They are a pantry staple for many home cooks seeking a versatile pasta option.
How people cook with it
Egg noodles are a classic choice for comforting meals. They pair wonderfully with creamy sauces, hearty broths, and savory meat dishes.
- In casseroles
- With stroganoff
- In chicken noodle soup
- As a side dish
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the egg noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, usually for about 7-10 minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight chewiness, known as al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly, reserving a little of the cooking water if you plan to finish them in a sauce. Toss them immediately with your chosen sauce or butter to prevent clumping.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thinner egg noodles, these extra-wide noodles offer a more substantial texture. Their broader surface area allows them to capture and hold more sauce, making them ideal for dishes where the sauce is a primary component. They also cook slightly differently due to their thickness.
Who it is for
Home cooks preparing family meals and comforting dishes.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused noodles in an airtight container or resealable bag in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
