Instructions
Dry Ingredients: Whisk together 1 ¾ cup flour and ½ teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl.
Wet Ingredients: In another medium mixing bowl, whisk 2 egg yolks & 1 whole egg. Add ¼ cup water and 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil and whisk once more.
Combine: Pour out the flour mixture on to a clean surface and create a well. Pour egg mixture in the middle. Slowly use a fork to mix the egg and flour together until it is combined. Knead the dough, using the remaining 1/4 cup flour (use more, if needed) for approx. 5-10 minutes. Let rest 10 minutes.
Roll + Cut: Divide the dough ball into 4 equal parts. Taking one portion at a time, roll out on floured surface until thin with a rolling pin. Cut into 1-2 inch strips. Place on wire rack until use.
Cooking in Soup: add to your favorite soup (while simmering) for 3-7 minutes or until al dente. How long they need to cook will depend upon how thick they are. The noodle shown were a bit on the thick side and took 5-6 minutes to fully cook.
Cooking in water: to cook the egg noodles by themselves, simply add them in to a pot of boiling water and let them cook for about 3-5 minutes or until al dente.
Notes
