  • Cut noodles according to your pasta machines instructions.
  • (usually put on widest setting, smoosh a small chunk of dough in flour on both sides, fold in half and run through maching. Fold again and run through and repeat once more. Then proceed to next smaller setting, etc.) I do not recommend using the very smallest setting.
  • Cut as fettucini noodles.

  1. These are delicious, but then, being a buckwheat lover, I expected they would be. I didn't make these for serving with Pesto, rather as an addition to transform leftovers into a Chicken & Noodle & Vegetable soup. The family isn't home to try them, but being the Chef, I got to taste test. Ummm yummm!!! Thanks for the recipe Lisa!
     
  2. I thought this made much better tasting noodles than the traditional egg-less soba noodles, but it really did need more water (almost a third cup total). Like many flour recipes, the condition of the flour really matters, as well as the ambient humidity. Weighing the flour instead of measuring can help. I also added a half teaspoon of salt instead of the "pinch" called for. Great recipe, just watch your dough for how much liquid to add.
     
  3. I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed in this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and it was so dry that I couldn't even form it into a ball so had to add extra water in order to roll out the noodles. The noodles were very bland and really didn't have any flavor and ended up thowing it out.
