What it is

Egg noodles are a type of pasta made from wheat flour and eggs. The addition of eggs gives them a richer flavor, a firmer texture, and a yellow color compared to regular pasta. They are typically produced by sheeting dough and cutting it into various widths and lengths.

Why it's used

Egg noodles are often used as a base or thickening agent in soups, casseroles, and stir-fries. Their ability to absorb liquids makes them ideal for dishes like chicken noodle soup or beef stroganoff. Manufacturers use them for their texture, flavor, and ability to hold sauces.

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar pasta products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
