Noodle question...?!


Question: Noodle question!.!.!.!?
I am making Goulash for my husband and I tonight!. Last time I made it, I put too many noodles in and it really dried the dish out!. This time I want to put less so it's meatier but how much less do I put!?

Like 1/2 a box of noodles or just 1/4 the box!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
1/4 of a box should be more than enough unless you have a ton of other ingredients and a huge huge pot of stuff you plan to be eating for 3 days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You might want to pre or par cook the noodles!. if it is dry it is because you are losing liquid to the noodles as they cook!. or you might want to up the liquid a bit!. maybe a touch of wine!. Good Luck!. CheersWww@FoodAQ@Com

If you are really not sure you can always make the noodles seperately and add them when you serve it up!. Nothing special happens to them when you cook them together it will test the same and you can use as much or as little as you like!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on what type of noodles!.!.!.you can always cook the noodles separate from the goulash and then serve yourselves how much you want!.!.!.or serve the goulash on top of the noodles!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
