Yolkless Noodles Found At Whole Foods!

I've previously mentioned how high in cholesterol wide egg noodles are, and they're the kind of wide noodle you find 99.99% of the time.  I've been trekking to Safeway to get yolkless ones, but discovered late yesterday that I can get them again at Whole Foods, at least at the Pearl Street store.  I used to find them there in the regular pasta section, where they've been absent for some time.  Yesterday, I was passing by a section of Jewish foods, hopefully a year-round spot but maybe just for Passover, and my eye immediately was drawn to the Manischewitz wide yolk-free noodles, with zero cholesterol, yay!

Egg-Free Pasta Discovery

Cholesterol-watchers know that pasta can sometimes be a challenge. The everyday types of pasta, like penne, linguine, or fettucine are usually fine, but when you want a nice, wide noodle, that takes you into the category of the egg noodle, which packs a wallop of a cholesterol punch. But when you make something like a classic goulash, what else are you going to serve it on? Sobas? I don't think so. I was therefore delighted to discover that the pastas offered by Pappardelle's at the Boulder Farmers' Market are mostly egg-free, with a few made with egg whites, the safe part of the egg. This includes their namesake pasta, pappardelle, which usually carries sky high cholesterol numbers. At $8 a pound, their pasta doesn't come cheap, but their zero cholesterol numbers are a real rarity. You have a couple more weeks to catch them at the Farmers' Market, or you can buy online or at their Denver store.
