Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

This dish brings back warm memories of family gatherings and home-cooked comfort. It combines simple ingredients into a rich and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy. The flavors are hearty and nostalgic, making it a perfect addition to any holiday table.

Simple Cooking Tips

- Use fresh egg noodles for the best texture and flavor.
- Toast the breadcrumbs lightly in butter for a golden, crispy topping.
- Stir gently to avoid breaking the noodles and keep the dish looking beautiful.

Step 1

Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, water, and salt until everything is well combined. Gradually add in 2 cups of flour, beating as you go, then stir in another cup with a wooden spoon. Keep adding flour little by little until the dough is thick enough that it’s tough to stir. Divide the dough into four equal balls.

Step 2

Sprinkle plenty of flour on a pastry cloth, your rolling pin, and four sheets of waxed paper. Roll out each ball on the floured cloth until it’s about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes, then carefully flip each piece (it might be a bit stiff) and let it rest for another 45 minutes.

Step 3

Once the dough has rested, stack the pieces and slice them into noodles. Spread the noodles out and let them dry for about three hours.

Step 4

When you’re ready to cook, bring a large pot of chicken broth to a boil. Add the noodles and cook them uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until they’re tender and the broth has thickened nicely. Serve warm and enjoy!

Creative Serving Ideas

Serve this alongside roasted turkey and cranberry sauce for a classic holiday spread. It also pairs well with green beans or a fresh garden salad to balance the richness of the noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.

Storage Guide

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the noodles tender. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container and thaw overnight before reheating.

Really tasty noodles but I found the sauce a bit heavy, next time I’ll add some lemon for freshness. Still good for a cozy night.
