Recipe Time

Since I never seem to be able to remember to post a recipe on Monday, as was the original plan, I've just decided to try to post them weekly...we'll see if I'm even very good at that! This recipe is one that I just got from my sister in law. I've only made it once and I still have a few kinks to work out (and even then, it'll probably never taste like Julie's!), but David loves it and it really is so much better than buying noodles. So here it is.... (I'm only putting the recipe down for the noodles--that way you can keep your favorite soup recipe and just add these to make it so much tastier!)

Homemade Noodles

5 Eggs
1 Tbl. Salt (I'll probably only do 1/2 Tbl. next time because I used chicken bouillon for my soup base which is salty as well, so it really didn't need that much more, but do what you think is best)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup cold water
Add flour to thicken

Mix eggs, salt, olive oil and water together in large bowl. Then gradually add in flour, enough to thicken it into a dough that is still kind of sticky, but workable. I wish I would have kept track of how much flour I added, but of course, I didn't. It was quite a bit though and I don't think I added enough because when I went to roll it out, it was really sticky and wouldn't come off of the counter very well at all (see what I mean by I still have some kinks to work out!) Anyway, once you have the dough to the right consistency, roll it out onto a counter that has been covered in flour and then cut the dough into squares with a pizza cutter. When the soup is boiling, add the noodles and let it cook for 20 minutes.

If anybody tries this and finds the perfect amount of flour to add, I'd love a comment from you!
