Wide noodles for stroganoff and casseroles; fine ones for soup.

🧊 Storing it

Pantry: 1 to 2 years dry
Fridge: Cooked: 3 to 4 days, like other leftovers

Keep the fridge at 40°F or below and the freezer at 0°F. Freezer times are for best quality; food kept frozen at 0°F stays safe. When in doubt, throw it out. Times from Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Texas A&M University System.

🔪 Prepping it

Boil 6 to 8 minutes. For soup, cook them separately or add just before serving so they don't soak up the broth.
