Steps:
- Measure out 2 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and pour it all into a large mound on a clean countertop or kitchen work surface.
- At the top of the mound, dig out a large well, using your fingers to push the flour into shape.
- Crack all 4 eggs into the center of the well and use a fork to beat them lightly.
- Once you beat the eggs, use your fingers to slowly fold over the flour into the eggs, filling in the well and mixing everything as you do so.
- Keep doing this until a soft dough has begun to form, and it's springy enough to shape into a ball.
- When you have the right shape, place more flour down onto the kitchen surface, and begin kneading your dough.
- Keep kneading for at least 10 minutes. The dough needs to be elastic and smooth.
- If the dough is too wet, you need to add more flour. If it's much too dry, then consider adding one further egg to the mixture and remixing.
- When you're pleased with your dough's texture, wrap it up in cling wrap. You should let your dough rest at room temperature for half an hour before you start rolling out your fresh lasagne sheets!
- Remove your dough ball from the cling wrap once it's rested for at least half an hour.
- With a sharp knife, slice the dough ball into 6 equally sized pieces.
- Place one piece on a lightly floured kitchen counter and wrap the rest up to keep the remaining dough from drying out.
- Push the dough ball into a flat rectangular shape with both hands.
- Set up your pasta maker on the side and place it onto the widest noodle setting.
- Pass the rectangle of dough through the roller to flatten it.
- Fold the flattened dough over into thirds and pass the rectangle through the roller while it is still on the widest setting.
- Keep repeating and rolling the dough through the pasta maker at least 10 times to flatten it out. You may need to add more flour if things start to get sticky!
- After the tenth attempt, place the pasta maker onto the next setting down from the widest and pass the dough through again.
- Keep putting the setting down a notch and passing the dough through until you've reached the thinnest setting it can be. The result should only be about 1/16 of an inch thick.
- Place your long, thin stretch of dough onto parchment paper and gently slice it into lasagna noodle-sized pieces.
- Repeat until you have no remaining dough left to roll out through your pasta maker!
- Place a large saucepan on the stovetop and bring a large pot of salted water to the boil.
- You also need a large pot of ice-cold water ready on the side (within easy reach!).
- Place individual lasagna sheets into the boiling water and allow them to cook for just 30 seconds.
- Immediately remove the lasagna sheets and place them into the ice-cold water you have waiting.
- Repeat this process until you have no lasagna sheets left to cook.
- Drain the lasagna sheets and give them a quick rinse under the water before transferring them to a baking tray or parchment paper where they can rest until it's time to assemble your homemade lasagna and bake it in the oven!

ZOODLE LASAGNE
One day, not having any gluten-free pasta on hand but lots of zucchini, I decided to use 'zoodles' instead of noodles. The whole family enjoyed it! I don't use any salt in the recipe because the cheeses already contain it. This dish is even better the next day and freezes well too.

Steps:
- Spray an 8 by 8-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared pan and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and the nutmeg. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the pudding is set, slightly puffed, and golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
EGG NOODLE LASAGNA
An easy lasagna recipe using egg noodles instead of the traditional lasagna noodles. This is a great 'clean out the cupboard & fridge' recipe! The original recipe calls for mascarpone instead of the ricotta (which I use). Use mascarpone if you wish...it's just always easier for me to find ricotta at the store. You could also use cream cheese instead of ricotta.
