Noodles

A type of pasta that differs from the others in that it always contains eggs or egg yolks blended into flour and water. They can be purchased dry or fresh and in a variety of shapes, sizes and textures. Dry noodles can be stored for up to six months in a cool dry place but fresh noodles should be wrapped in plastic and stored in the refrigerator, where they can be stored for up to four days. Noodles can be used as a side dish, or in soups and casseroles.
