Sturdy in texture, egg noodles are often used in casseroles or paired with cream sauce.
Egg noodles are wide, flat noodles that contain up to 20% whole eggs. They have a slightly higher fat count than most noodles. Because of their sturdy texture, they’re often used in casseroles or paired with cream or meat sauces.
Egg noodles are usually short, flat noodles, but may come in the form of fettuccine, tagliatille, and other shapes.
Add noodles a few at a time to salted boiling water. To prevent noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir gently until the water returns to a rapid boil. Cooking time varies depending on the type of pasta. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Toss with asparagus, olive oil, and grated Parmesan, or use in casseroles.
