Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour , plus more for dusting
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup water , add more as needed
- Chicken broth or salted water , for cooking
Optional serving: Butter and parmesan cheese, Sauce, or in soup
Instructions
Dough
- Dry ingredients. In a large shallow bowl, stir together 2 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add eggs. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack 2 eggs into it. Whisk the eggs with a fork. Add 1/4 cup water to the eggs and gradually whisk the flour from the sides of the well into the egg mixture.
- Mix dough. Continue mixing until a dough starts to form. If the dough seems too dry, add water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together and is no longer tacky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Knead dough. Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead it 3 to 5 minutes, or until smooth. Shape the dough into a ball and cover it with a towel. Let it rest 10 to 15 minutes.
- Roll out dough. Dust surface with flour and roll out the dough into a thin sheet, about 1/4- to 1/8 inch thick. Let the rolled dough rest a few minutes to dry slightly.
- Cut into noodles. Fold the dough several times to create a loose roll. Using a sharp knife, cut it into thin strips, about 1/4-inch wide. Unroll the noodles and dust them with a bit of flour to prevent sticking. At this point, you can cook the noodles immediately or let them air dry 15 to 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Cook
- Cook noodles. In a large pot, bring chicken broth or salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the noodles and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm (al dente).
- Drain and serve. Drain the cooked noodles and serve with butter and parmesan cheese, with your favorite sauce, or in a soup.
Notes
Dairy: This recipe is dairy free, but you can use milk in place of water if desired. You could also add in 1 Tablespoon softened butter with the egg mixture.
