Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoons Water
Instructions
On a clean countertop or in a large mixing bowl, pile the all-purpose flour into a mound, and create a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well and add the salt and olive oil.
Using a fork or your fingers, slowly whisk the eggs while gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well. Keep going until a rough dough forms.
Add the water, a little at a time, if the dough feels too dry, and knead it together. Gather the dough into a ball.
Knead the dough thoroughly for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll each piece out on a floured surface as thin as possible (or to your desired thickness).
Use a sharp knife or a pasta cutter to slice the dough into your preferred noodle width. Dust the noodles with a little flour to prevent sticking.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes (or until they are tender and cooked through).
Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce or toppings.
