rustic homemade noodles

Have you ever tried to make homemade noodles?  They are amazing, especially in soups and casseroles.  Their thicker, denser texture really gives you something to chew.

My mom is amazing at making homemade noodles.  I'm working on it, although I can't claim "amazing" just yet.  As mom always said, it takes a bit of practice to figure out exactly how dense the dough needs to be and to cut those noodles consistently thin.  But, even if you aren't perfect at it, making homemade noodles will never fail to impress your customers and liven up any meal.

Rustic Homemade Noodles

• 2 cups flour
• 3 jumbo eggs
• 1 t. salt

Mix above ingredients together.  Knead dough until rubbery (springs back when touched).  Knead a lot!  Using a rolling pin and a floured surface, roll the dough out very thing.  Roll up the thin dough into a log.  Using a sharp knife, cut into thin strips.  Immediately loosen the noodles.  Add to boiling water or broth and cook for 10-20 minutes, or until tender.
