Ingredients
- 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 Teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 Teaspoon salt
Cooking Pasta Directions
- Always using plenty of boiling water so that the pasta can move around freely. One half pound of pasta will require at least two quarts of water; one pound will need 6 quarts. if you want to add salt, now is the time to do it. Let the water come to full rolling boil before adding the pasta.
- The length of time required to cook the pasta will depend on the size, weight and particular ingredients for the noodles. Home made noodles take very little time to cook and should be tested after 3-4 minutes. It’s better for the pasta to be cooked slightly underdone rather than overdone. Italians prefer their pasta “al-dente”; not mushy, but tender, yet slightly hard to the bite, “so that you know that you are chewing something.” Test the pasta for doneness frequently to avoid over cooking. Remember that pasta can be over cooked very quickly. Once cooked, drain the pasta but never rinse it. For the best pasta dish, drain, add sauce and serve it quickly.
