Lazanki(Noodles To Go With Soups)
Lazanki are traditional noodles perfect for hearty soups, offering a tender texture and mild flavor that pairs well with rich broths and savory ingredients.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift the flour; add a pinch of salt and knead with egg and water to form a dough.
- Roll out the dough finely and set aside to dry.
- Cut the dried dough into noodles.
- Toss the cut noodles lightly on a floured board.
- Cook the lazanki in boiling salted water until tender.
- Drain the noodles and pour hot water over them.
- Drain again and set aside.
- When Czarnina (duck blood soup) is ready, add the cooked lazanki to the soup before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting the fatback with lard or using ghee instead of butter. If you’re looking for a healthier option, whole wheat flour can be used, though it may alter the texture slightly. Make sure to roll the dough as thin as possible for the best results. If the dough is too sticky, dust it with extra flour while working.
Serving Suggestions
Lazanki pairs beautifully with Czarnina (duck blood soup) as it absorbs the rich flavors of the broth. For a complete meal, serve alongside a simple salad or steamed vegetables. These noodles can also complement various other soups; feel free to experiment with vegetarian recipes or hearty stews for different taste profiles.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover lazanki can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply drop them into boiling water for a minute or two until warmed through, or sauté them in a little butter for added flavor and texture. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the noodles in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the noodles ahead of time. After cutting them, let them dry completely, then store in an airtight container. They will keep well for a week. Just remember to cook them for a slightly shorter time when you reheat them.
What type of flour works best for this recipe?
All-purpose flour is the most common choice for making lazanki, providing a good balance of texture and flexibility. For a unique twist, you can also experiment with semolina flour, which adds a slightly nutty flavor and a firmer bite to the noodles.
Can I freeze the lazanki?
Absolutely! Once the noodles are cut and dried, you can freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. They will keep for up to three months. Cook them directly from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the boiling time.
