Ingredients:

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 1/2- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instruction:

  1. Mix eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth. Stir in one cup of flour until smooth. Add additional flour, just a small spoonful at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball, but is still slightly sticky.
  2. Dump dough out onto a floured surface. Use well floured hands to knead the dough with your hands, until it’s no longer sticky, about 3-5 minutes. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Roll out onto a lightly floured counter until it’s very thin — less than 1/4” thick or paper thin.
  4. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutting wheel to cut the noodles into long strips, however narrow or wide you like. I like to roughly gather them with my fingers into a pile to make them more shapely, and not so flat. You could even twist some with your fingers to make them prettier.
  5. To cook them immediately, add them to a pot of boiling water and cook until tender to the bite, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and serve in your favorite recipe requiring egg noodles like Easy Beef Stroganoff or Swedish Meatballs.
  6. Or cook them in a pot of boiling soup, like my favorite homemade chicken noodle soup. Or, enjoy them plain with butter and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

Drain and serve in your favorite recipe requiring egg noodles like Easy Beef Stroganoff or Swedish Meatballs. Or cook them in a pot of boiling soup, like my favorite homemade chicken noodle soup.

Are egg noodles healthier than pasta?

Egg noodles’ nutritional content is similar to that of regular pasta but slightly lower in calories, carbs, and protein ( 1 , 2 ). They’re also often enriched, meaning that certain vitamins and minerals have been added, increasing their nutritional value.

What makes egg noodles different from regular pasta?

Ingredients: The main difference between egg noodles and pasta is that the former must contain eggs. While many homemade pasta recipes include eggs, most dried pasta from the supermarket does not. Cooked texture: Many egg noodle recipes call for cooking the noodles until they’re soft and tender.

Do egg noodles need to dry before cooking?

You can cook noodles without drying if you prefer – they will cook faster. To store egg noodles, make sure they are dried completely, and place them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or place dried noodles in a freezer bag or freezer container, and store frozen for up to 8 months.
