What can you do with egg yolks?
Whenever I make mousse or anything with a lot of egg whites, I always feel so bad throwing out all the yolks.
Any good ideas of how to utilize these (besides just making eggs)? |

Baking cakes/breads/pancakes/waffles... box cakes certainly won't know the difference, can only be an improvement. Can add those yolks to smoothies too... use in puddings of all kinds; chocolate, rice, tapioca, bread... |

Make lemon curd. (Or orange or lime curd) Make some good yellow cake layers using a recipe that uses just egg yolks--see The Cake Bible--and freeze them (well wrapped) if you don't want to eat them right now. This will enable you to have a cake on short notice in the future. |

The most obvious thing is leche flan. If you just have a few yolks to dispose of, we've already discussed mayonnaise (which includes aioli) and hollandaise in the last couple of days. -- Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. |

I don't feel that guilty tossing them - after all, I figure it's about half the price of an egg. Even if I junked a whole dozen yolks --well, what am I going to do?

I'm not crazy about meringue, and I can't use up all the leftover whites. They're wonderfully nutritious, and it upsets me to throw them away.

What can you do with egg yolks?
This discussion has expanded to include the question of what you do with
leftover egg whites. But there's an easy answer to BOTH of the questions: Make pasta. You can make pasta dough using all-purpose flour and egg yolks. What you'll get is an incredibly rich pasta suitable for matching with a strongly-flavored ragout. You can also make pasta dough using egg whites and no egg yolks, but that's generally made using a fifty-fifty mix of all-purpos and semolina flours. What you get is a bit austere in taste, which means it matches well with seafood or mildly-flavored vegetables. According to Mario Batali (and a bit indirectly from Lidia Bastianich), the most common use for that pasta dough is strangozzi, though I'd think you could make chitarra-cut noodles or orechiette just fine.

Orecchiette are made with flour and hot water, no egg. Many of the pastas of the far south are made like that, and hand rolled between the palms noodle shapes are very often hot water pasta, but the names are different from town to town, let alone from region to region. |

Why not put them into pasta? The pasta Batali was talking about was from Abruzzo and points south (by which I'd guess he meant Molise and maybe Apulia). The pasta Bastianich was talking about was from Spoleto, though as I mentioned, she only indirectly depicted the pasta being made with egg whites: There was a vignette of a woman making egg-white pasta in the "Lidia's Italy" episode about strangozzi, but when Bastianich herself got around to making strangozzi she only used flour and water.

The pasta Bastianich > was talking about was from Spoleto etc. etc. Of course every cook uses up what there is because it is a practical country other than driving. What you may be missing is that neither of those two is actually Italian or living here, although Lidia did until she was 8 and Mario did for a while.. an extended trip. My DD refused to let me watch the cooking shows on TV when they were "Italian" because I was yelling at the screen when I was supposed to be taking care of her sickly self. Things are offered up as "real Italian" that may be just one person's idea or only an interpretation of a tradition. Is it important? Probably not to many people, but I believe tradition is taught as tradition and embroideries or modernizations are taught as that and I also believe that you don't teach those without showing the variation. Without some feeling for reality and history you end up with terrible messes passing themselves off as good food. There goes the neighborhood. |

I can't speak for Lidia Bastianich, but Mario Batali appears to be a stickler for authenticity: When asked, "Why do you make ___ that way?" his response is invariably, "Because that's the way it's made by the little old Italian lady who showed me how to make it."
