Kroger Extra Wide Egg Noodles
What it is
These are dried pasta noodles made with eggs, giving them a richer flavor and a tender texture when cooked. The extra-wide cut means they hold up well to hearty sauces and are satisfying in a variety of dishes. They are a staple in many home kitchens for their versatility and comforting qualities. The pasta is shaped into flat, broad ribbons, making them a substantial base for meals.
How people cook with it
Egg noodles are a classic choice for many comforting and flavorful dishes. They pair well with a wide range of ingredients.
- As a base for stroganoff
- Mixed into casseroles
- Served with butter and herbs
- In chicken noodle soup
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried egg noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically for about 7 to 10 minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, butter, or add them directly to soups and casseroles. Avoid overcooking to maintain their best texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular dried pasta, egg noodles have a distinct richness due to the inclusion of eggs in their dough. The extra-wide cut provides a more substantial mouthfeel and is better suited for thicker, creamier sauces or dishes where the noodle is a primary component.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a versatile and satisfying pasta option for family meals.
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 keep them fresh and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
