Yes, you can freeze egg noodles, actually for much longer than two days.

lizbeth et. al.: I have made egg noodles for soup and usually have too much. I have attempted to store them in a bag in the refer. but they stick together. I would like to freeze them too. How do you actually keep them from becoming a big mess?

For things which like to clump, spread them out on a cookie sheet to freeze, then put them in bags.

The dried packages?. For a holiday meal, if it is your family tradition, i might just prep my noodle/pasta pot the night before, all ready to go with water and colander insert, and cook that puppy first thing am. Easy while every other prep is happening. Fresh cooked, even cooked that morning and cooled, then re-heated...still a not much saving of time if it needs to be warm.

I like to put noodles and grains in 1/2 pint containers in the freezer when i make stock, then cover the grain/noodles with the fresh stock, than freeze. Nice to have for an easy soup addition. (the noodles are slightly underdone as they will finish cooking later)...in the soups.

Even if you slightly under-cook, then lay out on a sheet pan in the freezer, then package loosely, then freeze, you still need to re-heat somehow...in another pasta pot. But i don't know the dish. Seems a lot of work to freeze and might just be a lump clump and starch gummy.

If just noodles that are a plain side to have with turkey and gravy, i vote for fresh boiled. Not a good do-ahead unless it is a casserole type thing with other creamy ingredients to bake easily with other baked dishes. (with peas and cream and onions and a bubbly cheese topping)

If you make your egg noodles by hand like we do, they for sure can be partially dried, nested on a sheet pan and frozen. Too much work for the day of.

Oh, yes, I dry my noodles, package them and freeze. They do not clump. I don't think noodles should be put in the fridge to store. Make them many days ahead of time. I hope to make a lot of noodles for Christmas gifts for my kids and families.

I often freeze homemade pasta uncooked, for later use. It's nice to just pull it out of the freezer and cook it. I spread it on a baking sheet, freeze it and then bag it into portions that I'll use later.

I've never tried to freeze it cooked.

Thanks everyone, I made my noodles and they are in the freezer. I've made egg noodles for every holiday since I was a young un, and always made and cooked them the day of. Should have thought of making ahead and freezing 40 years ago! A few years back, I tried cheating and bought some Reames frozen noodles. I didn't think the family would notice.....I still hear about it! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
