In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and create a well in the center.
Crack 3 large eggs into the well, add 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Mix the wet ingredients with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour to form a dough.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.
After resting, roll out the dough as thin as possible and cut into desired noodle shapes, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
For the gravy, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook, whisking constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Slowly add 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
Add 0.5 teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic powder, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
Toss the cooked noodles with the gravy until well coated.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley before serving.
