Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into the well.
Using a fork, whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well. Once the mixture becomes too thick to stir, use your hands to knead the dough.
Add water, one tablespoon at a time, if the dough feels too dry. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5–7 minutes.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll.
Once rested, divide the dough into two equal portions for easier rolling. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion as thin as possible (to about 1/8 inch or thinner). Repeat with the second portion.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the rolled dough into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide or to your desired width for the noodles.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles in small batches, cooking for 2–3 minutes or until they float to the surface and are tender.
Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, in a soup, or as a side dish.
