The eggs don't really change the ability to freeze it. For example, you can also freeze raw cookie dough containing eggs.

Yes, you can freeze egg noodles. Egg noodles can be frozen for around 3 months. Whether uncooked or cooked, they freeze well, and you shouldn't notice any differences in their texture. Just make sure they're bagged up and sealed well in freezer-safe bags to protect them from freezer burn.

To further extend the shelf life of cooked egg noodles, freeze them; freeze in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Cooked egg noodle dishes containing sauce freeze best; cooked dry egg noodles may become overly mushy when thawed.

Can I freeze pasta noodles?

You can definitely freeze spaghetti. Aim to cook your pasta al dente. If the noodles are too soft or mushy, they might not survive reheating. We recommend adding a little bit of olive oil to your long noodles while they're hot, so they don't clump together.

How do you freeze fresh egg noodles?

Here are your instructions for doing so:
  • If your cooked egg noodles are part of a dish, freeze the dish with these same instructions.
  • Refrigerate or freeze within 2 hours of cooking the noodles.
  • Place noodles into freezer-safe containers or a heavy-duty freezer bag.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.


  • Can you freeze dry egg noodles?

    Answer 2

    I'd like to add one more point. Yes, you can freeze homemade egg pasta and it does very well. Furthermore, you can add the still frozen pasta to boiling water to cook it. It does so beautifully that way that there is no discernible difference between "just made" pasta and pasta that has been frozen. No need to defrost, just add the frozen pasta to the boiling water.

    Answer 3

    I suggest that you freeze uncooked noodles because cooked noodles are nasty when you try to thaw and cook again. You can also freeze balls of the dough and then take it out and thaw about an hour before using it to make "fresh" noodles as needed!

    Answer 4

    I cut them as thin as I can. I use a straight edge.

    Cut them as narrow as you want. Then lay the pasta out on a large cutting board. Use big floor fan that turns back and forth. In about an hour, vacuum seal them.

    I just dump them in boiling broth frozen, they fall right apart in about ten minutes.
