Bake: 20 minutesmins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
1cup(150g) flour
1large(50g) egg
2-4tbs(30 - 60mL) water
Instructions
Combine egg and flour. Add water slowly a tablespoon at a time until dough starts to form. Knead briefly until all the ingredients are well combined.
Roll out the dough until it's about 1/8" thick. If it sticks to the rolling pin or work surface, dust the dough with a little flour.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut strips about 1/4" wide and 4" long. You don't have to be precise, but try to get them close so they cook evenly.
Sprinkle a few teaspoons of flour on surface of the dough and gently toss noodles. This keeps them from sticking together while cooking. Let rest on counter.
Fill a large pot half full with water (about 2.5 quarts) and bring to a rolling boil. You may also use beef, vegetable or chicken stock.
Turn heat down to a simmer and gently place noodles into sauce pan to avoid splashing boiling water. Turn heat back to medium high, or until you get a nice gentle boil.
Cook 15 - 20 minutes uncovered or until desired doneness.
Notes
