    Egg Noodles

    I have an abundance of egg noodles right now and I'm looking for different ways of using them. I always use them with chicken or stroganoff, but have seen recipes using sausage and spaghetti sauce (which seems like a waste of good noodles to me!). Any other ideas? I probably wouldn't try anything complicated or time consuming, just some simple every day uses for egg noodles.

    Re: Egg Noodles

    I use egg noodles in chicken or turkey tetrazzini. Recipe:

    1 pkg. egg noodles
    1 can cream of something soup
    1 can chicken stock
    1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
    2 cups bread crumbs
    1/4 lb. butter
    2 cups cooked chicken or turkey pieces

    Cook noodles and drain. Mix cream soup, chicken stock, and parmesan cheese together and toss with noodles. Put into a greased 13x9 pan. Brown the bread crumbs in the butter until toasted, then sprinkle over the top of the noodles. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

    You can alter this recipe: I make cream soup from scratch. You can use canned bread crumbs, but I grind up bread crusts to crumbs in my blender and freeze them, so they are always on hand. You can season it any way you like to perk it up. You can put in extra noodles, and even throw in some cooked broccoli if you like. Use a different pan to suit you. It's adaptable.

    We always had this for supper on New Year's Eve, because it used up leftover turkey. It's a good dish that will last a few days if you serve with a salad and veggies. It's good to take to sick folks or grieving folks or to a potluck, because it's mild and comforting.

    I hope this works for you!

    Re: Egg Noodles

    I use them in my version of halushki.  You take a head of cabbage and chop it up.  Put it in a big frying pan (guess you could use a pot if your cabbage is big enough, but I try to use a small head of cabbage) with plain veg. oil like canola.  I also add some water so it can steam a little too.  Cook it down alot.  If it starts to burn, add more oil and/or water.  When it's done, you can put it over the noodles.  I usually don't use a lot of salt in my recipies, but this is one were it needs a little.  You could also add a little butter while it's hot.  I'm sure there are more precise recipies out there. 

    You could also use your egg noodles in chicken soup - yum!

    **Egg Noodles with Poppy Seeds, Yogurt & Mushrooms


    Serves 8

    8 oz. Medium egg noodles
    ¼ cup sour cream
    ½ cup low fat plain yogurt
    1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
    ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided)
    ½ pound mushrooms, sliced (about 3 cups)
    1 onion, chopped
    ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
    ½ cup dry white wine

    In a small bowl, combine sour cream, yogurt, poppy seeds, cayenne pepper and 1 Tablespoon of the olive oil. (This can be done ahead and refrigerated.)

    In a large pot, cook the egg noodles according to the package direction with 1 ½ teaspoons salt until they are al dente (about 9 minutes.)

    While the noodles are cooking, heat the remaining Tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and onions and sprinkle them with the salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms and onions are browned all over, about 5 to 7 minutes.

    Add the wine to the skillet and continue cooking and stirring until almost all the liquid has been absorbed.

    When the noodles are done, drain them and add them to the skillet. Add the yogurt mixture. Toss well and serve.

    **Poppyseed Cabbage and Egg Noodles
    1/2 package egg noodles (6 oz)
    1/2 large head cabbage, sliced thin
    1 onion, preferably red or 1/2 white onion and 1/2 a red onion if that's what happens to be in your refrigerator like me; sliced into thin half-moons.
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1 tablespoon butter
    2 tablespoons poppyseeds
    salt and pepper

    Salt the cabbage. The original asks you to let it sit and blot off the excess water. Forget it. My cabbage didn't give up any moisture.

    Heat the oil in a broad skillet - 12" ideally - over medium high heat. Add the brown sugar and stir into the oil until hot. Add the onions and sautee in the oil until they start to lose their crispness.

    Add the cabbage. Stir frequently, tossing with the onions. It might seem like too much cabbage at first, but it will reduce dramatically.

    Put a big pot of water on the boil, salting the water liberally.

    Continue to sautee the cabbage and onions. Taste and add pepper to taste as the cabbage softens. Somewhere in here, before taking the cabbage off the heat, add the butter and melt it down. Your total sautee time should be about 20 minutes. If the cabbage gets to the desired texture, turn off the heat and set the pan aside while you finish the noodles.

    When the water in the pot boils, add the egg noodles. Boil until the pasta is a little past al dente. Drain.

    Mix the cabbage and noodles together in a big bowl with the juice from the cabbage pan, if any. Add the poppyseeds, salt and pepper to taste, and serve in big bowls with a fork. Warming and tasty.

    **Chili Pasta Casserole 

    Ingredients:
    1 lb. lean ground beef
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1/4 tsp. salt
    1/8 tsp. black pepper
    1 can (15 oz) vegetarian chili with beans
    1 can (14 1/2 oz) Italian style stewed tomatoes, undrained
    1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
    1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
    1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
    1/4 tsp. garlic powder
    8 oz. cooked pasta

    Instructions:

    Cook ground beef and onion in large skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown beef until no longer pink. Drain fat. Stir in chili, tomatoes with juice, 1 cup cheddar cheese, sour cream, chili powder and garlic powder.

    Add chili mixture to pasta and stir until pasta is coated. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Cover and cook 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.

    Sounds good, thanks! I have everything on hand except Parmesan cheese. (I'm too cheap to buy canned bread crumbs, but I do buy cream of mushroom soup since I can't use up fresh mushrooms fast enough to make it cost effective.)

    I didn't know fried cabbage was called halushki and I've never eaten it with noodles, but I'll give it a try, thanks!  

    Chicken soup with noodles is a mainstay here... that's why I'm looking for something else. Smile

    Re: Egg Noodles

    On Food Channel this morning, on Everyday Italian, Giada made a dessert noodle dish. Warmed heavy cream in a pan, grated in lemon and orange peel, and juices, dash of salt,  dipped homemade fettucine noodles in it, and sprinkled grated chocolate over the top. I don't know if she put any sugar in it; I probably missed that part. But doesn't that sound unusual but good?

    Noodle kugel

    1 pound egg noodles, cooked and drained

    1 egg, beaten

    1 cup raisins or other dried fruit

    1 tsp cinnamon

    Mix ingredients and pour into greased 9 x 12 pan.  Bake uncovered at 350 for 30 minutes; serve hot or cold.  Good as a side dish, snack, or dessert.  Play with the seasonings however you like; if you change the dried fruit, change the spice to match.  Check it at 20 minutes to be sure it's not drying out.
