Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter or olive oil (optional, for cooking)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Step 2
Make a well in the center of the flour and crack the eggs into it.
Step 3
Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well.
Step 4
Add the water a little at a time to help bring the dough together. Use your hands to knead until a firm but smooth dough forms.
Step 5
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is elastic and no longer sticky.
Step 6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 7
After resting, divide the dough into 4 portions for easier handling.
Step 8
On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough out into a thin, even sheet (about 1/8 inch thick).
Step 9
Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter to slice the dough into thin strips (about 1/4 inch wide) or your desired thickness for noodles.
Step 10
Sprinkle the noodles lightly with flour to prevent them from sticking together while you work on the remaining portions.
Step 11
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2-5 minutes, depending on thickness, until tender but firm to the bite.
Step 12
Drain and toss with butter or olive oil, if desired, to prevent sticking, or add directly to your dish of choice.
