Square Egg Noodles
What it is
These are dried pasta noodles shaped into small squares. They are made from a mixture of flour and eggs, which gives them a rich flavor and a tender texture when cooked. The square shape is distinct and adds a visual element to dishes. They are a versatile pantry staple for many home cooks.
How people cook with it
These noodles are excellent for absorbing sauces and broths, making them suitable for a wide range of savory preparations.
- Soups
- Casseroles
- Side dishes
- Stews
To prepare, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the square egg noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until they reach your desired tenderness, usually a few minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly. They can then be tossed with butter, oil, or your favorite sauce, or added directly to soups and stews to finish cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional long egg noodles, the square shape offers a different mouthfeel and holds chunky ingredients well. They cook relatively quickly and absorb flavors readily, making them a good choice when you want pasta to be a prominent part of the dish's texture.
