Egg Noodles with Caraway and Brown Butter

Instead of just dumping the caraway seeds onto cooked noodles for our recipe for Egg Noodles with Caraway and Brown Butter, we lightly chopped the seeds and toasted them with butter in the skillet. Browning some of the butter before stirring it in with the noodles contributed a nice nutty flavor, while adding the rest of the butter cold kept the noodles creamy.

Serves 6

Give the caraway seeds a gentle chop with a chef’s knife; it brings out their flavor and helps disperse them throughout the dish. The test kitchen’s favorite egg noodles are Light‘n Fluffy Wide Egg Noodles. Do not use dried dill or chives in this recipe; their dusty flavor spoils the noodles.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.

Thanks for your consideration,

Christopher Kimball
