Another good find from Real Simple’s ’10 Ideas for: Chicken Cutlets.’ However, the magazine’s recipe was sans egg noodles. I tried the original recipe first but my husband and I both felt it was lacking something. He suggested noodles and I knew just the thing!

I haven’t used egg noodles in dishes as of late. But growing up, egg noodles were a part of many a homemade dish. When I made this dish again but with the egg noodles, there was a noticeable improvement. Egg noodles were definitely that something that was missing. Such a simple addition can really make a dish!
When a dish feels like it’s missing that something, what simple addition do you try?
