Simple Truth Organic Wide Egg Noodles
What it is
These are dried pasta noodles made with enriched wheat flour and eggs. The wide cut means they have a substantial surface area, which is good for holding onto sauces. They are a pantry staple that can be used in many different dishes. The organic certification indicates they are made from ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, following specific agricultural standards.
How people cook with it
Wide egg noodles are a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients. They are a common choice for comforting, hearty meals.
- Mixed with creamy sauces
- Added to hearty soups
- Served with rich meat ragus
- Tossed with butter and herbs
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 bite. Drain the noodles thoroughly, reserving some of the pasta water if you plan to finish the dish in a sauce. Rinse briefly with warm water if using in a cold salad, but avoid rinsing for hot dishes as it removes starch that helps sauce adhere.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thinner pasta shapes, wide egg noodles have a chewier texture and a more robust mouthfeel. Their broader surface area is excellent for capturing thicker, chunkier sauces, making them ideal for dishes where the sauce is a primary component.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a satisfying and adaptable pasta for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
How to keep the rest
Store unopened packages in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption and pest infestation. Properly stored, dried noodles can last for a long time.
