Steps:
- 1. Place flour, salt and baking powder into processor bowl. Pulse a few times to mix. Mix eggs with milk and as you pour into flour mixture, pulse just until forms a ball. I then form into two separate balls and roll onto a floured surface. Let the dough rest for 15 - 20 minutes.
- 2. I use my pizza cutter to cut the noodles, use whatever works for you as they don't have to be perfect. Cut as narrow or wide as you like. Then as you lift the noodles from the surface toss with some flour to keep from sticking.
- 3. Let the noodles dry for a few hours You can now freeze them or cook them in your favorite well seasoned soup broth for 10 - 15 minutes or until desired tenderness.
- 4. I added some chicken to my broth! Yum!!!

Steps:
- Add flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor; pulse a few times to combine.
- In a medium bowl, mix eggs and olive oil with a fork until just combined. Pour over flour mixture in food processor. Pulse several times until no dry flour remains. Process for about 1 minute, or until dough has gathered into a ball then broken into bead-like fragments and gathered into once or twice more. (This will both mix and knead the pasta dough.) If the dough gets stuck at any time, turn off the food processor and nudge the dough slightly and continue to process.
- Remove the pasta dough from the food processor and shape with your hands into a smooth small and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour at room temperature (the longer it rests, the softer and easier to work with it will be). (Roll out immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
- Dust a rimmed baking sheet generously with flour.
- Divide dough into six equal pieces on floured work surface and cover five pieces loosely with plastic wrap. With your palm, flatten one piece into a rough rectangle about 1/2-inch thick; rub all over with flour. Feed one end through a manual pasta machine, beginning at the widest / lowest setting (1). Fold rolled dough into thirds, as you would a letter and roll it through again, feeding the narrow end through the machine; repeat this folding / rolling process three times, dusting with flour as needed.
- Now you'll run the dough through progressively narrowing settings without folding. Turn dial to the next setting (2) and, feeding the narrow side first, run dough through again. Repeat at the next four settings (3, 4, 5, 6), stopping on the second to last setting. (For a shorter noodle, cut the dough in half crosswise before running through the pasta cutter.) Cut noodle into 2 equal pieces or your desired length and place in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Lightly dust with flour. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
- Use noodles in your favorite lasagna recipe!

EASY HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES
Steps:
- By Hand: Combine all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Pour in the milk (start with 2 tablespoons and add more if the mixture is too dry). Using a fork, whisk the mixture until it is mostly combined. It will look shaggy and have some dry spots. At this point, ditch the fork and get in there with your hands. Lift and knead the dough 5-6 times until there are no dry spots remaining and the dough forms a soft, slightly sticky ball. Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for an hour (or up to a couple of days in the refrigerator).
- Food Processor: Combine all the dry ingredients and pulse a few times in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add the eggs and mix until the dough is crumbly. Add the milk a tablespoon at a time until the dough forms a ball around the edges of the food processor bowl. It will be slightly sticky but if you pinch a little bit in your fingers and roll it, it should stay together in a little ball without leaving a lot of residue on your fingers. Transfer the dough to a clean bowl, patting into a round ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for an hour (or up to a couple of days in the refrigerator).
- On a lightly floured counter or mat, press the dough into a thick disc-shape. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough as thin as you like into a large rectangle-ish shape - keeping in mind the noodles will puff up quite a bit while boiling - I suggest rolling to at least 1/8-inch thick. See the pictures below for an example. A good rule of thumb is to roll them thinner than you think.
- Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the dough into strips for noodles, depending on how thick you want them. I like to cut the entire rectangle in half when finished so the noodles aren't insanely long.
- Use the noodles immediately or let them dry in an even layer on a lightly floured parchment-lined baking sheet (it will probably take several sheets).
- If I make these in advance, I let them dry a bit and then toss them in a ziploc bag (they should be dry enough not to stick together) and refrigerate them for a couple of days or freeze them indefinitely.
EGG NOODLES
This is your basic old fashioned recipe for egg noodles, just like grammy used to make! Try making them next time you prepare your favorite soup or stew. Don't forget that fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried! You may use a dough hook attachment on your electric mixer or your hands to make the pasta dough.

Steps:
- Place flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse to combine.
- With the machine running, add eggs one at a time and blend after each addition. Add olive oil and process until dough looks like a coarse meal that comes together when pressed into a ball, about 10 seconds. Do not over-process. If the dough seems excessively sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing just until incorporated.
- Lightly dust work surface and hands with flour. Turn dough out of food processor and knead until elastic and smooth, and no longer sticky, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Shape dough into a disk and cover with plastic wrap or an overturned bowl. Let rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature (or up to 1 day in refrigerator) before rolling. If the dough has been refrigerated, let stand at room temperature for about an hour before rolling and shaping.
- Cut the dough into 6 to 8 pieces. Flatten it into small rectangles to fit through a pasta machine.
- Keeping the dough lightly floured, roll the pieces through a pasta machine set at its widest opening. Keep rolling pasta through machine as progressively narrower settings, forming strips.
- Lay pasta strips on a lightly floured surface and keep covered with towels. One at a time, fold strips into a flat roll and slice crosswise into ribbons. Unfurl ribbons and transfer to a floured baking sheet. Slice lengthwise into long ribbons, about 1 1/2 inches wide, using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Cook pasta in boiling salted water for 2 to 4 minutes, until al dente. Drain and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use the right type of noodles: The best noodles for this recipe are thin and delicate, such as angel hair or vermicelli. Thicker noodles, such as spaghetti or fettuccine, will not cook evenly in the food processor.
- Don't overcook the noodles: The noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and difficult to handle.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the vegetables: This will help to ensure that the vegetables are evenly sliced and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the food processor: If you add too many ingredients to the food processor at once, they will not be chopped evenly. Work in batches if necessary.
- Pulse the food processor until the ingredients are chopped to the desired size: Don't over-process the ingredients, or they will become mushy.
- Season the noodles to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.
Conclusion:
This easy noodle recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and create a delicious and healthy meal in minutes. With just a few simple ingredients and a food processor, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal on the table in no time.
