Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional)
• 0.25 cups Extra flour for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt.

Step 2

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack in both eggs. Add the water and olive oil (if using).

Step 3

Using a fork, beat the eggs and water together, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides of the well until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour; if it’s too dry, add a few drops of water.

Step 5

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. This step allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.

Step 6

After resting, divide the dough into two equal portions to make it easier to work with.

Step 7

On a floured surface, roll out one portion of dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick. Dust the surface and rolling pin with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the rolled-out dough into thin strips—about 1/4-inch wide for classic noodles or adjust the width to your preference.

Step 9

Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second portion of dough.

Step 10

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the noodles into the boiling water in batches, stirring gently to prevent them from sticking together.

Step 11

Cook the noodles for 2-3 minutes, or until they float and are tender. Taste-test a noodle to ensure doneness.

Step 12

Drain the cooked noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, in a soup, or stir-fried.
