Easy Amish Egg Noodles
Amish Egg Noodles are literally one of the easiest dishes to make. It’s a kid-friendly dish (because all kids love pasta, right?) and a great side option with any meal. Plus, it’s comfort food at its finest.
All you need are a few simple ingredients, and this will come together in no time! Add in your favorite protein and/or veggie, and make it a full meal. Typically, when my kids are under the weather, or in rather picky moods, this noodle dish is the first thing I prepare!
What are Amish Buttered Noodles?
Amish buttered egg noodles are cooked in chicken broth and butter with an amazing depth of flavor and a great side dish option. Basically, they are buttered noodles, with a bit more flavor than just simply adding butter to cooked pasta. A simple fluffy buttered noodles recipe that the entire family will enjoy.
Why You’ll love this recipe
You’ll love this Amish noodles recipe because it’s incredibly simple and tastes delicious. Plus, it pairs well with just about anything. It’s a dish your kids will devour, picky kids included. It’s such an easy recipe, even the kids can help prepare it. On nights where I don’t know what to make for dinner, this is one of my go-to meals because I know the entire family will enjoy it. Amish Butter Noodles are also the perfect side dish recipe to compliment any meal. The best part is you only need five ingredients to make it! If you want to add in some protein for more of a main dish option, you can add in cooked chicken, seasoned ground beef, etc.!
What are Amish Noodles made of?
Amish Noodles require only three staple ingredients: eggs, flour, and salt plus a little water. You can make homemade egg noodles if you want or get a package of egg noodles from your local grocery store to save time. Amish noodles recipes are pretty easy to make at home, however, I must confess, I typically buy a package of egg noodles from my local store and proceed with the recipe. I have seen Amish Noodles made from scratch in the past, but have never personally tried it. With 3 kids, 3 dogs, and a hubby….I like to utilize any shortcut I can!
Ingredients Needed
A few pantry staple ingredients are needed for this quick and easy recipe! Scroll down for full recipe card including ingredient amounts and step by step instructions.
- Butter- I use salted in this recipe, however, you can use unsalted and then add desired amount of salt to taste
- Chicken Bouillon Cubes
- Chicken Broth- reduced sodium works great, and feel free to swap vegetable broth if desired
- Dry Egg Noodles- I use the extra wide egg noodles typically, but any type works.
- Parmesan Cheese- grated, fresh is best, but that green can works too
How to make Amish Buttered Noodles
- In a large pan, melt the 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat and allow to brown for about a minute.
- Add broth and bouillon cube. Bring to a boil.
- Add in the noodles (uncooked at this point) and bring to a boil once again.
- Cover pot with lid and remove from heat.
- Allow to sit for about 25 minutes, giving it a stir every few minutes.
- Once cooked and liquid is absorbed, sprinkle cheese and Parsley on top and serve!
What to Serve with Amish Butter Noodles
Amish Buttered Noodles is a great recipe to serve alongside a main meal such as pork chops, melt in your mouth chicken, etc. You can even serve your Amish noodles with cooked, shredded chicken in a pasta-like dish with some veggies on the side. However you choose to enjoy these tasty buttered noodles, you can’t go wrong! This Amish buttered egg noodles recipe has become a staple in our house and hopefully in yours soon too!
How to Store Amish Butter Noodles
- These store great in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge. I have tried freezing them and don’t recommend it as the pasta falls apart too easily when thawed and the flavor isn’t right. Luckily, they are simple to make, so enjoy what you can in the 5 days and make a fresh batch the next time!
- To reheat: heat on plate in microwave using 30 second increments. Add additional butter if you notice the noodles are dry.
