Homemade Noodles!

Ingredients: 

2 c. All Purpose Flour

2Tb Olive Oil 

3Tb Water

3 Eggs 

Salt (optional)

Directions:

       Start by placing the flour on a large working surface and create a well in the middle. The well needs to be a decent size because it will hold all the wet ingredients. Crack the eggs in the center of the well, then add the olive oil and water. Whisk the wet ingredients in the well and slowly start incorporating the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Once it is mostly incorporated you can start kneading the dough by hand adding more flour when needed to prevent sticking. Once it forms a decent ball you can start kneading for real. You will need to knead the dough for about 10-15 mins making sure to knead both sides of the dough in a circular motion. Once finished the dough should be stretchy and tacky but not sticky. Form into a solid ball and cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 1 hour. 

       Cut the ball in half and begin to roll out the dough on a well floured surface. If the dough begins to get too long cut in half and roll each 1/4 of the original dough out until it is paper thin or until desires thickness (remember they will plump a little while cooking). I then used a pizza cutter to cut out the shape I wanted. You can use any tool available or even leave in sheets for making lasagna noodles. Dust the noodles with flour to prevent sticking. This recipe will keep for about 1 week in the refrigerator. 

     When ready to cook. Boil a large pot of salted water and linguine will cook in about 6 mins. Super fast and totally worth it!!! Delicious and no crazy ingredients.
