Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Mix together with a fork or your hands until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
- Roll and cut noodles: Divide the dough into manageable pieces. Roll each piece out thinly with a rolling pin on a floured surface. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into your desired noodle shape, typically thin strips about 1/4 inch wide.
- Boil until tender: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh noodles and cook for 2–3 minutes or until tender but still slightly firm. Drain the noodles and serve immediately with your preferred sauce or in a soup.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for best texture and flavor.
- If the dough is sticky, add flour gradually to avoid dryness.
- Fresh noodles cook much faster than dried ones, so keep an eye to avoid overcooking.
- These noodles can be dried and stored for later use.
