Noodles
1 1/2 to 2 cups flour, divided, plus extra for rolling
1 egg, beaten
1/2 eggshell full of milk

Start with one cup flour, mix in egg and milk. Add flour as necessary to make a dry but cohesive dough. Roll out thin or thick on a well floured board, cut into noodles. Can be dried for later or cooked immediately.

The amount of flour you need depends on the size of your egg and the size of the eggshell half you use to measure the milk.

Salt is completely optional. I'm sure the original recipe called for it, but if you cook in salted water or broth you really don't need it.

I tend to roll these noodles pretty thick, and even fresh they take a while to cook when they're thick. I suspect they're maybe halfway to being dumplings.

Thanks Cath!

Wow I cant wait to try the milk instead of water method. Very cool.

One of my Chef buddies just got a new pasta machine from Italy and is dying to play around with it with some friends. Maybe I will talk him into rolling out some sheets with me and we can stuff some pasta. Maybe Tortelloni or something like this.

Any ideas for stuffed pasta from you all?
