Categories     Pasta

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup flour, approx.

Steps:

  • It's best not to add water and just add the flour last to get the consistency right, adding a little at a time: Mix ingredients together. The art is in making the paste a loose but sticky consistency. It should pull away like taffy attached to the spoon and be slightly wet and shiny. (Try a few sample noodles in boiling water first.) Put a tablespoonful of mix on a wooden board. Cut off a small 1/4 inch piece from the spoonful ( about a teaspoonful) and flick it with a sharp knife to the edge of the board and into the boiling pot of water. Do this until the noodles are filling the surface of the pot-when they rise to the surface they are done - about 3 minutes. These are noodles that resemble gnocchi. Take them out with a perforated spoon and continue until all the mix is gone. Add butter to the noodles in the bowl so they don't stick. Note: large or small, tender or chewy, even "bad" noodles taste delicious!
