Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into the well.

Step 3

Using a fork, whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well. Once the mixture becomes too thick to stir, use your hands to knead the dough.

Step 4

Add water, one tablespoon at a time, if the dough feels too dry. Continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once rested, divide the dough into two equal portions for easier rolling. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion as thin as possible (to about 1/8 inch or thinner). Repeat with the second portion.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the rolled dough into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide or to your desired width for the noodles.

Step 8

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles in small batches, cooking for 2–3 minutes or until they float to the surface and are tender.

Step 9

Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your favorite sauce, in a soup, or as a side dish.
