Egg Noodles:

Ingredients:
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Beat 3 egg whites with cream of tartar until very stiff. Fold in the
egg yolks and salt. Place this mixture on a greased baking sheet with
sides (like a jelly roll pan) in case some runs off the sides. Spread
evenly into a thin coat. Bake 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until
lightly browned. Allow to cool slightly, remove with by running a
knife under the baked mixture to loosen, and slice into "noodles".

Serves 6. 4.5 grams per serving for stroganoff; add pasta carbs
according to package. "Egg" noodles add only a "trace" of carbs per
serving.
