Instructions

Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and add eggs. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs using a fork.

Pro tip: Use your hands to bring the dough together once it becomes too stiff for the fork.

Knead the dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Pro tip: If the dough is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time.

Rest the dough

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature to relax the gluten.

Roll out the dough

Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a thin sheet about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, using a rolling pin or pasta machine.

Pro tip: Dust with flour to prevent sticking.

Cut the noodles

Cut the rolled dough into strips about 1/4 inch (6 mm) wide. Toss lightly with flour to keep them from sticking.

Cook the noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook for 3-5 minutes until they float to the top and are tender.

Pro tip: Test for doneness by tasting a noodle.

Prepare the buttered sauce

In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add cooked noodles and toss to coat. Season with salt to taste and garnish with parsley if desired.
