Homemade Noodles

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup water
• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil or salad oil
• 1 tsp. salt

Directions

Combine 1 cup of flour with remaining ingredients. With mixer at low speed, beat 2 minutes, occasionally scraping bowl with spatula. With wooden spoon, stir in enough more flour to make soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Wrap in waxed paper and let stand 30 minutes.

Roll out half of dough on floured surface with floured rolling pin, forming rectangle 20x14 inches. Fold in half crosswise and then in half again. Cut in 1/8 to 1/2 inch strips. Place in single layer on clean cloth towels to dry. Repeat with remaining half of dough. Let noodles dry 2 hours.

To cook, drop into boiling salted water or boiling soup; cook 10-15 minutes or until tender.
