Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Flour:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon salt
Liquid:
- 12 tablespoons (180 milliliters) water (as needed)
Instructions
- Sift the flour and salt together in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a pristine, even surface for the egg integration.
- Excavate a central crater in the flour mound, then gently deposit the eggs into this well. Delicately whisk the eggs with a fork, progressively drawing in surrounding flour until a shaggy, cohesive mixture emerges.
- Migrate the nascent dough onto a flour-dusted work surface. Employ robust, rhythmic kneading motions, transforming the dough through persistent manipulation. Monitor its consistency, introducing microscopic amounts of water or flour to achieve a supple, responsive texture.
- Envelop the dough completely in transparent wrap or a lightweight cloth, allowing it to hibernate at ambient temperature. This crucial resting period permits gluten strands to unwind and relax, rendering the dough more malleable and receptive to rolling techniques.
- After the repose, the dough will be primed for stretching and shaping into delicate, homespun noodle ribbons, ready to absorb the rich flavors of your culinary creation.
Notes
- Let the dough rest at room temperature to help gluten relax, making rolling easier and preventing tough noodles.
- Use a pasta machine or rolling pin to create uniformly thin noodles, ensuring even cooking and perfect texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a blend of rice flour and cornstarch, adding xanthan gum for better binding.
- Experiment with herb-infused noodles by mixing dried herbs like basil or parsley directly into the flour before adding eggs, creating flavor-packed pasta.
