Homemade egg noodles are a fundamental staple of Romanian peasant cooking — a simple dough of flour and eggs, hand-kneaded, rolled out thin with a rolling pin, and cut into fine or wide strips. Unlike factory-made pasta, homemade noodles have a silky texture and rich egg flavor that enriches any soup, stew, or cream-based dish. The recipe is passed down through generations, adaptable to any thickness and size.
