1

Place 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour in a large bowl.

2

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour and stir together.

3

Make a well in the center of the flour and add 3 large eggs.

4

Add 1 tablespoon of water and lightly scramble the eggs with a fork.

5

Stir the eggs into the flour and salt mixture until a shaggy dough forms.

6

If the dough is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time; if too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time.

7

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.

8

Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let it rest for 20 minutes.

9

After resting, divide the dough into four pieces and roll out one piece at a time on a generously floured surface.

10

Roll the dough as thin as 1/16 of an inch, aiming for a rectangle shape.

11

Cut the rolled dough into strips using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, about less than half an inch wide.

12

Separate the noodles to prevent sticking.
