Ingredients
- 2 cups flour plus additional as needed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour; add egg and egg yolks then mix until just combined. Add water and mix.
- Pour flour mixture out onto counter dusted with flour (it won't be mixed at this point) and work dry flour into the wet parts of dough, this will take a bit of time and effort, shape into a ball of dough. Divide dough ball into 4 equal parts for thin noodles and 2 equal parts for thick noodles.
- Roll one-fourth of the dough for thin noodles, or one-half for thick noodles, into a rectangle on a floured surface. Roll the dough as thin as 1/16 of an inch or as thick ⅛ of an inch. Loosely fold lengthwise into thirds. Using a sharp knife cut crosswise into strips ⅛ to ½ inch wide, as desired. Dry pasta by laying noodles in a single layer on paper towels, or hang on a drying rack, for at least 30 minutes, and up to 3 hours.
- Break or cut pasta into smaller pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add noodles then turn down to medium heat after it comes back up to a boil; cook 6-10 minutes or until desired doneness. Mix with your favorite sauce. The thicker the noodles are the longer they will take to cook. You can also add them to your favorite soup and cook just like you would in water.
