I made egg noodles. I love Amish style, thick, chewy egg noodles. My Mom made an angelfood cake and gave me yolks so I took the recipe I found & went for it. They were delicious!!

I rolled the dough between sheets of waxed paper. Then i sliced them into strips with my pizza cutter. I put the whole sheet in the freezer till stiff. I broke them apart and stored in ziplocks in the freezer. Whenever I wanted some I cooked them in broth right from the freezer. It takes about 20 minutes for them to cook. Yummy!

Do you have a recipe for the egg noodles?

Hi!

I posted a recipe about a week ago for home made ravioli. The recipe is in 2 parts, the first being (egg) pasta and the second being the filling. The pasta certainly works on its own.

If you dig back about a week on this forum you should find it. If not, feel free to PM me and I will send it to you.

That is an excellent idea to freeze the dough. Thank you!

Ingredients

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

3 tablespoons potato starch

3/4 teaspoon salt

4 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum

3 large eggs (or 4 or 5 egg whites) "I used the egg yolks I was given and made a double batch. I added 2 extra whole eggs as it seemed to need it.)

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil

"I also added some Italian spice mix but I will probably just add individual spices next time. It was good but I prefer a slightly different blend."

Directions

1 In a medium bowl, combine flours, salt, and xanthan gum.

2 Beat the eggs lightly and add the oil.

3 Pour the egg-oil liquid into the flour mixture and stir.

4 This will feel much like pastry dough.

5 Work the dough into a firm ball.

6 Knead for 1 or two minutes.

7 Place the ball of dough on a potato starch-floured (rice flour turns noodles gray) breadboard and roll as**thin as possible**.

8 This dough is tough and, when almost transparent, will still handle well.

9 Cut into desired shape.

10 For fettuccine and spaghetti, slice very thin strips.

11 For a noodle casserole, make slightly wider noodles.

12 If using for lasagne, cut into 1 1/2-by-4-inch rectangles.

13 To cook pasta: Cook in salted boiling water, to which 1 tablespoon of oil has been added, for about 10 to 12 minutes depending on the thickness and size of your pieces.

14 You will have to test for doneness.

15 Drain and rinse well.

Happy eating!!
