Looking for an egg noodle recipe....

Cookinmom, I've never seen that show, but it is an Italian technique. I used to make big batches of pasta, but it takes forever. Now I just do enough for a meal, with maybe a little left over and it's pretty quick. Gettin' old.

I love the flavor and the texture when you use a lot of eggs, instead of water, like some recipes use. Although, I did use an organic mushroom broth once and I have to say it was pretty good. I'll have to try some of robbobbin's suggestions, too.

I thought all these recipes sounded good. I think I just like pasta of all kinds!

Noodles are the easiest to make. I just take basically the same ingredients and chop up fresh basil from the garden, just Monday night and had them with short ribs that were done in the crock pot. you don't have to measure either, just toss together until it looks/feels right.

Here's the easiest Chicken "noodle" soup in the world. Egg drop soup

1 shelf stable box of orgainc chicken broth(or your own homemade)
1 small bunch of green onions, diced
6 large eggs, beaten

Pour broth in a medium sauce pan and bring to a roaring boil.

When broth reaches a rapid boil, use a whisk or slotted spoon to slowly dribble beaten eggs into broth. Eggs cook instantly.

Serve right away garnished with green onions

Make spaetzle!

They're sooooo good, so easy, and use up a lot of eggs.

Spaetzle Recipe:
6 eggs
2 cups white flour
1/4 cup farina (I use cream of wheat)
1/2 cup water
1/2 - 1 tsp salt (per your taste)

Add a little more flour if you desire a thicker dough. Simple recipe...delicious results.

Just squeeze the dough into boiling water. Cook until noodles come to a float (maybe a few seconds longer), and scoop them out with a slotted spoon. Serve immediately. They are SCRUMPTIOUS with chicken and gravy, or better yet Chicken Paprikash.

If you have leftovers, you can even fry them up for breakfast (with an extra scrambled egg added in). It's my kids' favorite breakfast.

EDIT: I looked up this recipe because my husband (the spaetzle expert) wasn't home. This recipe makes a very dense, heavy noodle. Next time I'd make it with only THREE eggs (proportions would then match hubby's recipe), and add water to make the batter the right consistency to press through the spaetlze maker. You have to stir/beat quiet a bit until the batter is rather elastic.
