 Prep Time: 25 minutes

 Cook Time: 40 minutes

Servings: 4

Homemade Noodles Ingredients:

• 2 cups of flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 5 eggs divided, 4 whole eggs plus one yolk

Noodle Instructions:

1. Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl.
2. Whisk eggs together in a separate bowl until scrambled.
3. Then stir into flour mixture until it creates a rough dough.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead into a smooth ball.
5. Divide the dough into four equal parts.
6. Roll one part out on a floured surface.
7. Be sure to flour very thoroughly to keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and countertop.
8. When the dough is very thin and nearly translucent fold in thirds and cut into 1/2-inch strips with a pizza cutter.
9. Place each noodle strip in a little pile on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Do not pile noodles on each other or they may stick together.
10. Repeat with remaining dough.
11. Now begin making the soup and you will add the noodles towards the end of the soup instructions.
