directions

  • On a large, clean work surface, mound flour; make a well in the center and add egg yolks, eggs, 2 tablespoons water and salt.
  • Use a fork to beat eggs in the well; gradually incorporate flour.
  • Once flour is incorporated, form a round ball and begin kneading the dough; discard any dried bits.
  • Lightly flour work surface and knead dough until smooth and elastic; form a flat rectangle, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, refrigerate 20 minutes to 6 hours, to rest.
  • Unwrap dough and flatten to about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Set the rollers of a hand cranked or electric pasta machine to it's widest opening; run dough through, fold dough lengthwise and repeat.
  • Do this 4 or 5 times until dough is smooth and elastic; cut dough in half.
  • Set pasta machine to next smaller setting and roll one piece of dough through once (keep other piece covered by a clean kitchen towel); decrease setting and roll through again, repeating until it has run through on the lowest setting.
  • Repeat with other piece of dough.
  • Cut dough into 7 inch long pieces; roll up each piece and cut into 1/2 inch wide strips.
  • Boil noodles in a large pot of salted water for 2 minutes; drain and serve.

  1. This is exactly how my grandma taught me to make noodles and I am in my "50's" :). The only thing she taught me different is to add vodka instead of water as vodka doesn't stick to the gluten in the flour. Yummy................
     
  2. This is such a great recipe. Been using it since it was posted. I never add water. I’ll add an extra yolk if needed. There’s nothing like homemade pasta! I make it often for soups. You can’t go wrong with this recipe. I make this one by hand. It’s that nice of a dough. I use a pizza cutter to cut it. I have a pasta attachment. But love doing it by hand. Thanks!
