egg noodle

Egg noodles are pasta made with flour and eggs, typically cut into flat ribbons.

The eggs give them a richer flavor and yellower color than standard pasta.

They're common in European cuisines—German spätzle, Jewish lokshen—and appear in American comfort foods like beef stroganoff and chicken noodle soup: She served the stew over egg noodles.
