Mom Johnson'S Noodles
Mom Johnson's Noodles are homemade, tender pasta with simple ingredients, perfect for family dinners or comforting meals. They showcase classic egg noodle flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix flour and salt together in a bowl.
- Make a round hole in the center of the flour mixture.
- Put the whole eggs and egg yolks into the hole.
- Mix well with a fork until combined.
- Gradually add flour and knead until the dough is firm enough to roll out.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using semolina flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you don't have fresh eggs, you can use 4 tablespoons of egg substitute. When mixing the dough, avoid over-kneading; just enough until it is firm and smooth. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes before rolling it out for better texture in your noodles.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Mom Johnson's Noodles with a light sauce, such as garlic and olive oil, or pair them with sautéed vegetables like broccoli and carrots for a healthy dish. They also complement well with a rich tomato sauce or a hearty meat sauce. These noodles can be the star of your meal or a delightful side to High Protein 'Meatless' Loaf.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply boil them briefly in salted water or sauté in a pan with a bit of olive oil. This will help keep them from sticking together and enhance their flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to use, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften before rolling it out.
What is the best way to cut the noodles?
After rolling out the dough, use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice it into your desired width. For fettuccine-style noodles, aim for about 1/4 inch wide. Dust them with flour to prevent sticking while cutting.
Can I freeze the noodles?
Yes, you can freeze the noodles. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag once solid. They can be stored for up to two months. Cook them directly from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
