4.7 from 140 reviews

This homemade egg noodles recipe is a simple and delicious way to make fresh pasta from scratch, using pantry staples like flour, eggs, and water. The dough is kneaded until smooth, rolled out, and cut into noodles of your desired shape, then boiled until tender. Perfect for soups, stir-fries, or as a side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup water (added gradually)

Instructions

  1. Mix flour and salt: On a clean work surface, combine the flour and kosher salt by mixing with your fingers evenly.
  2. Create a well and add eggs: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the 3 egg yolks and 1 whole egg into it. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs by mixing with your fingers.
  3. Add water and form dough: Slowly add the water, about 1 teaspoon at a time, working the dough until it holds together well. Continue kneading the dough for approximately 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  4. Roll and cut noodles: Roll out the dough to your desired thickness with a rolling pin. Then cut the dough into noodles of your preferred width. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut until all the dough is used.
  5. Cook the noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop in the freshly cut noodles. Boil them for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness, until fully cooked but still tender. Test a noodle to ensure desired doneness and adjust cooking time if needed.

Notes

  • Adjust water quantity slightly depending on flour absorption.
  • Kneading is essential to develop gluten for elastic noodles.
  • Use a sharp knife or pasta cutter for clean cuts.
  • Cook noodles immediately or allow them to dry briefly for storage.
  • Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
