Homemade Noodles

It's almost too easy. We received a pasta machine for Christmas - $20, TJ Max. Cheap investment for what it can create. Great for soup fans or Moms who make noodles at least once a week for the kids.

 

Recipe:

2c. wheat flour

5 eggs

1. Pour the flour into a bowl and the eggs into the middle of the flour. Mix the eggs with a fork until they are blended with the flour. Knead the mixture with your hands until smooth. If it's too dry, add water. If it's too soft add flour. 
2. Cut into small, fist sized balls. Roll out on a floured surface. 
3. Pull through pasta machine. 
4. Hang over chair or drying racks to dry a bit before adding to boiling water  

Tips:

• A good mixture shouldn't be sticky. You can't really hurt the dough by adding too much flour.
• Do not use eggs straight out of the fridge, best at room temp. 
• Noodles will keep in the fridge uncooked for up to a week. 
• All purpose flour can be substituted. 
• If you do not have a pasta maker, roll out dough really thin and cut into strips with a knife.

I used these noodles in our chicken noodle soup, also just cooked a few up to eat for snacks with red dipping sauce.
