Pennsylvania Dutch Wide Egg Noodles
What it is
These are wide, flat noodles made with eggs, giving them a rich flavor and tender texture. They are a classic pasta shape, often associated with comfort food and hearty meals. The noodles are dried and packaged for convenience, ready to be cooked and incorporated into various dishes. Their broad surface area makes them excellent for holding sauces.
How people cook with it
Egg noodles are a versatile pantry staple, perfect for a wide range of culinary applications.
- As a base for casseroles
- Tossed with butter and herbs
- Mixed into soups
- Served with rich sauces
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the wide egg noodles and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until they reach your desired tenderness, typically around 7-10 minutes. Drain the noodles thoroughly. They can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, butter, or added to soups and casseroles. For best results, use them immediately after draining.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thinner pasta varieties, wide egg noodles have a more substantial bite and a richer taste due to the inclusion of eggs. Their flat, broad shape allows them to absorb and hold sauces more effectively than many other pasta types.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any remaining noodles in an airtight container or resealable bag in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
