Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack in the eggs.
Add the water and olive oil to the well.
Using a fork or your hands, gradually mix the flour into the liquids until a rough dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle with a little more flour as you knead.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This helps relax the gluten for easier rolling.
After the resting period, divide the dough into two or three smaller portions to make it easier to handle.
On a floured surface or with a pasta machine, roll out one portion of dough at a time into a thin sheet (about 1/8 inch thick or thinner, depending on your preference).
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into your desired noodle shape and width (e.g., fettuccine, linguine, or thin strips for soup noodles).
Dust the cut noodles lightly with flour to prevent them from sticking together.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on their thickness, until tender but still slightly chewy (al dente).
Drain and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, in soup, or as a side dish.
