• Use a mixer or food processor (or you can make by hand!). Combine egg, yolks, salt, and water.
• While mixer is running (low speed), add 1 ⅓ cups of the flour until mix is crumbly. Add the remaining ⅔ cup of flour until well incorporated. Dough should be dense and tough.
• Take dough out and form into a ball then flatten into a disk. I spritz/sprinkle a lite bit of olive oil over the dough to prevent it drying out. Wrap in plastic wrap for at least one hour. I also chill it in the fridge overnight if I want - but it is workable after an hour.
• When ready to use your dough, unwrap. If chilled overnight, let it sit for at least half an hour before unwrapping. It is very important to keep your dough always covered, even the portions that you aren't working with, as it will dry out and harden quickly.
• Lightly dust your cutting board with fine flour.
• Cut dough disk into 4 quarters. You will be working with one at a time, so keep other ¾ in plastic wrap.
• Check that the dough isn't too dry. If it is, spritz a tiny bit more olive oil to moisten.
• Squeeze and knead with your hand and form into a dough log. Think about all the times you used playdoh!
• Use a rolling pin to gently get to a circle about ⅛-inch thick.
• Repeat until all dough pieces are a similar size and shape and stack discs, slightly dusted or oiled, until ready to feed through the pasta maker or cut by hand. Cover with plastic while working the next circle.
• Now, you can either use a knife or pizza cutter, or any sort of pasta roller. A manual one or one on your kitchen aid mixer, whatever you have!
• Place noodles on a lightly dusted surface to dry or until ready to use fresh. If you desire to cut them to a smaller size, simply cut with a knife. It is important to keep your noodles flat while drying, either on a pasta drying rack or on a tea towel or baking sheet..
• Repeat this process until all your dough is rolled out.

Cooking Noodles

• If using dough fresh, add a few tablespoons of salt to a large pot of water and bring to a rolling boil. Carefully place noodles in for 3-5 minutes, strain and then use. Oil as necessary. Or if adding to a soup, you can toss in your noodles as the soup is hot and let them soak for a few minutes before serving.
• To use dry noodles in a sauce, salt water well, bring to a rolling boil and keep in 5-7 minutes and strain well.
• If using in a soup, boil in soup for the last 5 minutes of cooking and let cool a bit before enjoy your hearty noodle soup!
