Pasta ala you

Pasta is so easy and so fun to make, that once you give it a try you will want to teach someone else, say your honey and your kids and grandkids too. What a great thing to do on a rainy day make noodles.
This recipe can have any number of variations if you have a kitchen aid and the attachment for noodles well your all set. If not break out the rolling pin and a floured surface to work on and you will need somewhere for your noodles too dry I have some 2x2 boards I keep around and just wipe them down before I use them.
This recipe if for noodles for 2. For every 2 people you cook them for double the recipe.

Make a mound of 2 cups of flour I use unbleached you can use whatever you like.
In the top of the mound make a well and into this well crack an egg that has been sitting at room temperature for a couple of hours. Then to that add 1 pinch of salt and 1/2 an egg shell of room temp water. Start mixing by hand in place, inside the well you created and keep incorporating the flour into the mixture until you have a nice thick dough.

Using a floured surface and a rolling pin roll out the dough very thin ( noodle like) I use flour and fold my sheet of flat dough in half several times and make thin straight cuts, unfold the noodles and hang over a broom handle or your 2x2 or whatever you come up with. Let dry about 2 hours before you use them, just drop them into boiling salted water. Now  you can add 1 tbsp. spinach or mashed carrots to this mix for veggie noodles you can even puree squash and use it. Make noodles just the same and hang, you can make these noodles as wide as you like and even use them as ravioli or any noodle you need. Enjoy.
