Kroger Wide Egg Noodles
What it is
These are wide, flat noodles made from enriched flour and eggs. The enrichment process adds back certain nutrients that may have been lost during processing. Their broad surface area makes them well-suited for holding sauces and other ingredients. They are a common pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
These noodles are a versatile base for a variety of dishes. They absorb flavors well and provide a satisfying texture.
- As a side dish with butter and herbs
- In casseroles and baked dishes
- Mixed with hearty meat sauces
- As a base for creamy chicken dishes
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 8-10 minutes, until they reach your desired tenderness, often described as al dente. Drain the noodles thoroughly in a colander. You can then toss them with your favorite sauce, butter, or oil to prevent them from clumping together as they cool. They are ready to be served as a main course or as a component in a larger dish.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to thinner pasta shapes, wide egg noodles have a larger surface area. This allows them to capture and hold onto thicker, richer sauces more effectively. Their texture is also often perceived as more tender and yielding due to the inclusion of eggs in the dough.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a simple and adaptable pasta for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
Store the unopened package in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer any unused noodles to an airtight container or resealable bag to keep them fresh and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
