I keep my pantry stocked with all kinda of pasta and rice products. That way I can be ready to whip up a tasty meal whenever needed. Obviously, I always hav a variety of boxed pasta handy BUT I also keep plenty of egg noodles on hand too!

With two boys who are pastaholics…egg noodles are a frequent addition to my menu. The large noodle offers my family the taste that they love. And, the shape and texture of those tasty noodles hugs whatever sauce is used…making it a great addition to lots of tasty recipes.

I try to keep a couple of bags of Light ‘n Fluffy® Egg Noodles on hand at all times. There’s stroganoff, casseroles, soups, stews and my oldest kiddo’s favorite…simple buttered noodles!

I spotted a recipe for Light ‘n Fluffy® Minestrone Style Chicken Noodle Soup and decided it had to go on my menu this week. I am so glad that I did as it was a HUGE hit with my entire family. It was super simple to prepare and had amazing flavor. My guys were so focused on the chicken and those tasty noodles, they didn’t even realize that the soup was packed with tons of veggies. That’s a win in my book!

If you need something delicious for your menu, pick up a bag of your favorite egg noodles, a Publix rotisserie chicken and hit the produce aisle and you can have this one on your table this week too.

When you want an egg noodle that cooks perfectly every time serve Light ‘n Fluffy® — America’s favorite egg noodle!
