Close Credit: Ryan Liebe With their high egg-to-flour ratio, egg noodles have a richer flavor than most traditional pasta types; moreover, they're unfussy, familiar, and comforting. Honestly, we're not sure why these delicious noodles are so often associated with chicken noodle soup and not much else. They're one of the most versatile pantry ingredients you can squirrel away to use for a range of different culinary purposes, from the main attraction to a strong supporting player.
