This comforting noodle dish brings a warm, homemade touch to your Thanksgiving table just like Grandma used to make. It’s simple to prepare and full of flavor, perfect for sharing with family and friends.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, water, and salt until everything is blended. Start mixing in 2 cups of flour with an electric mixer, then stir in another cup of flour using a wooden spoon. Keep adding more flour little by little until the dough is thick enough that you can still stir it. Divide the dough into four equal balls.
Dust your pastry cloth, rolling pin, and four sheets of waxed paper generously with flour. Roll out each ball of dough on the cloth until it’s about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Let the dough rest for 45 minutes, then carefully flip each piece over (this part can be tricky!) and let them rest for another 45 minutes.
Once the dough has rested, stack the sheets and slice them into noodles. Spread them out and let them dry for around 3 hours.
When you’re ready to cook, bring a big pot of chicken broth to a boil. Add the noodles and cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until they’re soft and the broth has thickened nicely.
- Use fresh noodles if possible for a softer texture.
- Stir gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
- Taste the sauce as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference.
This recipe brings a warm, comforting touch to your holiday table. It combines simple ingredients with a rich, homemade flavor that reminds you of family gatherings and cherished traditions. Every bite feels like a cozy hug from Grandma.
Serve alongside roasted turkey and mashed potatoes for a complete Thanksgiving meal. A sprinkle of fresh herbs on top adds color and extra flavor. Pair with a crisp green salad for balance.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to keep noodles moist. Avoid freezing to maintain the best texture.
