These homemade egg noodles are simple, rustic, and full of flavor. Made with just flour, egg yolks, water, and a touch of olive oil, they’re rolled, cut, and dried to the perfect texture. Add them to your favorite soup or sauce for a comforting, from-scratch touch that tastes just like Grandma’s.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
½ teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
½ cup water
1 teaspoon olive oil
Directions
- In a large bowl, stir together 1¾ cups flour and salt. Pour onto a clean work surface and make a deep well in the center with your fist.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks, water and olive oil.
- Add all at once to well in center of flour mixture. Gradually mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture, using your hands to form a firm dough. Use remaining ¼ cup flour as needed to dust the work surface while kneading the dough until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes total. Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, form dough into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut ¼-inch-wide noodles. Let noodles dry on floured work surface for up to 2 hours before adding to soup.
