Medium Homestyle Noodles
What it is
These are dried egg noodles that are wider than vermicelli but narrower than pappardelle. They are made with flour and eggs, giving them a rich flavor and a tender texture when cooked. The medium width makes them versatile for many dishes. They come in a sealed package to maintain freshness. The noodles are pre-cooked and dried, requiring rehydration through boiling.
How people cook with it
These noodles are a staple in many kitchens, perfect for a wide range of comforting meals.
- Soups and broths
- Casseroles and bakes
- Side dishes
- Stir-fries
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually around 7-10 minutes, until they reach your desired tenderness. Drain the noodles thoroughly. They can then be added directly to hot soups or sauces, tossed with butter or oil, or incorporated into baked dishes. For stir-fries, drain them well and add them towards the end of cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thinner egg noodles, these medium noodles offer a more substantial bite. They hold up better in heartier sauces and stews without becoming mushy. Their width also allows them to absorb flavors more effectively than very fine pasta.

Home cooks looking for a versatile pasta for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in a cool, dry place. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent moisture from entering, which can cause the noodles to clump or spoil. An airtight container is ideal for long-term storage.
