Haluski- Which noodles to use?

[SpiceGhoul]

I would really like to try this but all the recipes I can find just say egg noodles, obviously this isn't the egg noodles we get in the supermarket here. Is there a particular brand I should be looking for? If anyone has a preferred recipe too then please share !

If you don’t want to make your own I would use a wide pasta which seems closer to their noodles than the dried egg ones.

@boulevardofbrokendreamss oh no I certainly am not upto making them myself. I agree I was definitely thinking more pappardelle or tagliatelle than what is labeled as egg noodles in our supermarkets.

I was hoping someone would come on with a recommendation of what I'm actually looking for so I could just order it on Amazon.

I have found one that looks right but am not willing to pay £8 per pack in comparison to the same size pack of pasta for less than £1!

I have so many Polish/eastern European stores locally, but I am disabled so it's not so easy to just go have a browse but will try and get someone to take me soon. It'd just be really helpful if I knew exactly what I was looking for!

I grew up in the US and these noodles are literally called egg noodles, but they are more Polish egg noodles and not the sort of Asian stir fry ones we have in normal UK supermarkets.

I’ve personally not seen them anywhere in the UK, though you may try an online Polish grocery. The closest thing I’d say is broken up paparadelle, but the noodles are short, maybe 2cm in length.

If you have a Polish shop nearby, they may have packaged makaron łazanki (sometimes called pasta łazanki in English; the dish itself is usually called łazanki in Poland, rather than haluski which I think is Slovak).

Back when most home cooks made their own noodles, these were typically made from wheat or buckwheat flower, but now that there are commercially packaged versions they are often made from durum/semolina and some are egg-enriched. The shape and texture is probably more important than the type of flour. Czaniecki, Lubella, and Piątnica are popular Polish brands that you may find at a Polish shop in the UK (or online); I don't think any of them are available at mainstream UK supermarkets.

As well as the US-style "egg noodles", some people also use lasagne noodles in a pinch - but I think you'd have to boil them and then cut them into squares to avoid breakage.

Fresh or dried egg tagliatelle could work. Under £2 in Asda and just over £2 in Waitrose
