Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 400g plain flour
- Extra flour for kneading
Procedure
- Sift the flour onto a large work surface, and create a well in the centre
- Break the eggs into the well
- Slowly draw the flour into the eggs either using a spoon or your hands
- Knead into a smoooth, elastic dough
- Roll to desired thickness, using extra flour and cut to desired shape
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil
- Add the noodles to the water and cook until al dente
N.B:
- While this recipe says that 400 grams of flour should be sufficient for creating the dough more may be necessary depending upon the size of the eggs
- This recipe usually makes enough noodles for four people, however depending on the shape of pasta more may be needed. A good rule of thumb is one large egg per person.
