I don't know why I never tried this before! Maybe it looked too tricky, or it was too easy to buy noodles at the grocery store, I don't know. I have always wanted to make homemade noodles; it just never happened - until yesterday - I think I'll make my own pasta from now on. :) I just used a basic recipe from a cookbook I have but am eager to try different things - like sprouted grain flour, etc...
Here are the basic instructions if you'd like to give it a try or maybe you could come someday and we could have a noodle making party! :) 10oz flour, 3 eggs(must be room temperature), 1oz olive oil, a pinch of salt. (I think I would add 2TBS water next time; my dough was really stiff) Put the flour on the table and make a well in it. Add the other ing. and begin mixing with a fork, slowly incorporating more and more flour. Knead the dough until smooth. Wrap in saran wrap and let rest for 30 min. Cut off a portion of the dough and roll out as thin as you want your noodles. I cut mine with a ruffled edge but you could use a pizza cutter, or even just a good old knife! :) Drop the noodles into boiling water or broth and before long you'll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor! It's so much fun - you won't want to stop!
