Kluski Noodles are a type of egg pasta originating from Poland. Traditionally, kluski pasta is primarily made out of flour and eggs and is then boiled and served in a variety of Polish soups.

While you can buy the dried version at most grocery stores, there’s something so incredibly rewarding about making your own (and it tastes SO much better too!)

Let’s start!

What is the Difference Between Kluski Noodles and Egg Noodles?

The ingredients and procedure for making kluski noodles and egg noodles are similar, but for kluski egg noodles, you use more eggs. A typical kluski egg noodle recipe requires double the number of eggs to cups of flour. So, for 2 cups of flour, you use four eggs. To make egg noodles, you use the same number of eggs as cups of flour.

What Do I Eat With Kluski Pasta?

Traditionally, you can serve this Polish-Style Kluski Noodles in various soups.

However, you can also use homemade kluski in practically any pasta dish, including pasta carbonara, pasta bolognese, and more!

Kluski noodles are an especially delicious swap for any recipe that calls for egg noodles.

Can You Make Kluski Noodles Ahead of Time?

Yes!

First, follow the instructions up to the point where you cut the kluski dough into noodle shapes.

If you plan on cooking the noodles within the next 2-3 days, just place the kluski dough in an airtight container and refrigerate it until ready to cook.

If you don’t plan on cooking the noodles within the next 2-3 days, place the raw kluski noodles in a freezer-friendly bag and freeze. Frozen, raw kluski noodles will keep for up to 3 months.

I would not recommend boiling the kluski noodles ahead of time.

Can I Make Kluski Noodles Gluten-Free?

If needed, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour like this one. Keep in mind that using gluten-free flour will alter the texture of your kluski noodles a bit, but it should still taste delicious! 🙂

  1. I make this with boiling in chicken stock covered for 20 minutes, the add shredded chicken. I make my noodles by rolling out the dough thin and cutting into strips then coating with flour. This makes the broth a little creamy to make a delicious chicken and noodle dish that we serve over mashed potatoes. It is my families favorite comfort meal. Very hearty and feeds a crowd. Be sure to have cans of chicken broth to add for leftovers. We like ours broth thinner than too thick. Its a choice. There are no rules. This recipe came from my German grandmother. I wonder if it really is a polish dish. Doesn’t matter to me either way. It is DELICIOUS. I have never seen any recipe online or in cook books for this dish. We call it Chicken and noodles. (LOL). I know, very creative, but I don’t argue with my German grandma!

  2. 5 stars
