How to Cook Egg Noodles

Nothing makes a recipe taste better than fresh homemade egg noodles. Egg noodles are easy to make. Recipes call for a standard dough made from flour, eggs and butter. If you like the tri-colored noodles, you can divide the dough into three and add a couple drops of food coloring to the different batches of dough.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/3 C. plus 2 tbs. all-purpose flour
• Pinch salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 C. plus 2 tsp. milk
• 1 3/4 tsp. butter

How to Cook Egg Noodles

1. Stir the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the beaten egg, milk and butter. Knead the dough until smooth-about 5 minutes. Let stand in bowl for 10 minutes.

2. Flour a smooth surface. If you have marble or granite counter tops, this is the perfect surface. Roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness.To roll your dough evenly, wrap masking tape around the ends of your rolling pin to the desired thickness. Keep your rolling pin floured as necessary to prevent sticking.

3. Roll the dough up as if you were making a jelly roll. Cut the roll into 1-inch strips. Unroll each strip and let the dough air dry.

4. Boil pasta until al dente. Serve with your favorite dish. Makes approximately 4 servings.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not overcook pasta-it will become soggy and the texture and taste will be poor.
