5 Amish Recipes With Noodles

Jump to Recipe

Homemade noodles are a staple among the Amish.  They require few ingredients and, really, homemade noodles are not that hard to make. Maybe a little time-consuming.  Some Amish are aided by hand-cranked "noodle makers" as opposed to cutting them all out by hand. But there are plenty of Amish cooks who just pick up a knife and cut them out by hand. Hand-made noodles are almost considered an art for among the Amish. So there are many variations on Homemade Noodle Recipes.

Whenever I think about noodles, I'm reminded of an old, funny family story from when I was a child. I was traveling in Italy with my parents and brother, and no one in our family spoke a word of Italian. As I remember the story we were driving around in an area of Italy renown for its green-tinted homemade noodles and, famished, my parents stopped and what they thought was a restaurant. Someone said something to them in Italian and waved us in. We ate what turned out to be super homemade noodles and only found out later, it wasn't a restaurant, it was a convent. Oh well, the noodles were, apparently, super. I don't remember that, I was probably only about 6-years-old.

Scratch-made noodles are an age-old art.  Amish moms learn homemade noodle recipes from their moms and then pass the craft down to their daughters who pass it along to theirs and so on. I covered Amish Homemade Noodles history before.... so be sure to check out a more in depth conversation on homemade Amish Noodles.
