Weis Quality Old Fashioned Wide Noodles
What it is
These are dried egg noodles made with a simple combination of enriched flour and eggs. They are cut into a wider shape than standard noodles, giving them a more substantial bite. The noodles are designed to absorb sauces well and hold their shape during cooking. They are a pantry staple for many home cooks.
How people cook with it
These noodles are a versatile base for a variety of dishes. They pair well with both light and hearty sauces.
- As a side dish
- In casseroles
- With hearty stews
- In chicken noodle soup
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions, typically for about 8-10 minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight chew. Drain the noodles thoroughly. They can then be tossed with butter, oil, or your favorite sauce, or added directly to soups and stews.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thinner egg noodles, these wide noodles offer a more robust texture. Their broader surface area allows them to capture more sauce, making them ideal for dishes where the sauce is a primary component. They also hold up better in heartier preparations.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic noodle option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused portion in a cool, dry place in an airtight container or the original packaging. Ensure it is sealed to prevent moisture absorption and maintain freshness. Proper storage will keep the noodles from becoming stale or clumping together.
