Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 egg
- 2 egg yolks
Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Whisk eggs vigorously in a mixing bowl until they transform into a pale, airy mixture with a light, frothy texture.
- Introduce cold water and salt into the egg mixture, then gradually fold in flour until a cohesive dough forms. Knead the mixture energetically on a clean surface, working it until a smooth, elastic consistency develops.
- Dust a flat work area generously with flour to prevent sticking. Press and stretch the dough with a rolling pin, creating a thin, uniform sheet approximately 1/8 inch thick, ensuring even distribution.
- Select a pizza cutter or sharp culinary knife to slice the delicate dough into precise, uniform strips, maintaining consistent width for even cooking.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Carefully lower the fresh noodle strips into the bubbling liquid, allowing them to cook for 7-9 minutes until they achieve a tender, al dente texture.
- For preservation, transfer cooled noodles to an airtight container. Refrigerate for short-term storage up to 2-3 days or freeze for extended preservation lasting 1-2 months.
- Elevate your culinary creation by serving these handcrafted noodles in a steaming chicken soup or as a versatile side dish complementing various main courses.
Notes
- Make eggs room temperature before beating to achieve maximum fluffiness and better dough consistency.
- Use a pasta machine or extra flour when rolling to prevent sticky dough and ensure thin, even noodles.
- Consider adding herbs like parsley or chives to the dough for enhanced flavor and a gourmet touch.
- Replace wheat flour with a blend of almond and rice flour for a celiac-friendly version.
