Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 whole large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs into the well.
Add the water and unsalted butter to the eggs.
Using a fork or your fingers, gently mix the eggs and water, gradually incorporating the flour until all ingredients form a shaggy dough.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a damp towel, letting it rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out one portion at a time on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 1/8-inch for thicker noodles or 1/16-inch for thinner noodles).
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled dough into strips of your desired width (about 1/4-inch wide for traditional noodles). Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
Lay the cut noodles out in a single layer on a floured baking sheet or clean kitchen towel to prevent sticking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles, stirring gently to separate them, and cook for 2-5 minutes, depending on the thickness, until tender but still slightly firm.
Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, in soup, or with a drizzle of olive oil or melted butter.
