Again, like the chicken and rice recipe, this can be a loaves and fishes type of meal. Adjust the amount (or type) of noodles and other ingredients to increase the yield. Mix different types of noodles. 1 box of whole egg wide noodles Vegetable oil Garlic salt 1 Onion Parmesan cheese Bread crumbs Cook the noodles and drain. In a frying pan warm up the oil and add chopped onion. Cook onion until soft then add the noodles and mix throughly. You want enough oil to cover the noodles lightly, not drown in. As you cook the noodles and onion, add garlic salt and pepper. Cook the noodles until they are getting firm on the bottom of the pan then add some bread crumbs to "glue" to the noodles. Mix throughly and cover with cheese (any cheese really) for additional flavor. No bread crumbs? Empty the bottom of your toaster. Need more, toast some bread then dice the bread up. The image used is not exactly this recipe but close enough.
