13 Dinners That Start With a Bag of Egg Noodles

gapch1026

Whether you ate them simply buttered as a kid or in chicken soup when you had a cold, egg noodles probably make you think of comfort food — the one ingredient that can make anything better. The noodle's wide, flat shape is also ideal for cream sauces, stews, and casseroles. Egg noodles are also a traditional ingredient in Eastern Europe: No kugel, beef stroganoff, or haluski would be complete without them. Keep a bag in your pantry and you'll always have a family friendly meal at your fingertips.
