Homemade Noodles

• On a clean counter, dump the flour and make a well in the middle.
• In the hollow, add the eggs, salt, and olive oil. Use a fork to break the yolks.
• Keeping the flour walls as intact as possible, gently use your hands to incorporate the flour into the well.
• Continue working the dough with your hands to make it into a shaggy ball.
• Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes. At the beginning, the dough may feel pretty dry and like it's not going to come together, but keep working with it. After about 8 or 10 minutes of kneading, it should be a smooth, elasticy ball.
• – If the dough seems way too wet, add a sprinkle of flour.

  – If the dough seems way too dry, add a sprinkle of water.
• Once finished kneading, wrap the dough in Saran wrap and let rest on the counter for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Forming the Noodles:

• Sprinkle 2 baking sheets with flour and set aside.
• Once the dough has finished resting, cut the ball into 4 pieces.
• If making the noodles with a pasta maker, gently flatten the dough balls into discs and follow the pasta maker instructions to flatten and cut the dough.
• If making the noodles by hand: Sprinkle a clean counter with flour and, working with 1 piece at a time, roll out as thinly as possible.
• Sprinkle the top of the dough with more flour, fold the dough into thirds (this is simply to make it easier to cut), and cut as thinly as possible.
• Spread the finished noodles on the prepared baking sheets.

Cooking:

• Fill a large pot with water, add a couple tsp salt, and bring to a boil.
• Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until tender. This could take up to 15 minutes.
