One of our family’s favorite traditional dishes to serve at Christmas and other family gatherings is Noodles & Tomatoes. Oh, it’s not just noodles in a bag like you buy in the store, it’s homemade noodles. They are really simple to make and ohhhhh so good. I always use home canned tomatoes – it makes a huge difference.
This year we aren’t celebrating with a big crowd of family gathered in the kitchen and scattered throughout the house. I bet that some of the nieces and nephews are serving noodles and tomatoes in their homes this Christmas!
Here’s a link (a must see!) to Homemade Noodles & Tomatoes (there is a guest appearance)
Here’s the recipe:
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
all-purpose flour
Beat eggs with fork. Stir in salt. Add enough flour to make a very stiff dough. Roll dough out very thin on a floured surface. Roll dough up (like a crepe) and cut with a knife in 1/2″ strips. Unroll each strip and place on a towel or paper towels. Allow to dry. Cook noodles in salted boiling water about 10 minutes. Drain. Pour 1 quart (or more) home canned tomatoes over this and add 2 Tablespoons butter (or more). Season with pepper.
