How to make homemade noodles easily and quickly.

Making homemade noodles may seem like a complicated task, but in reality, it is a simple process that anyone can do at home. With just a few ingredients and some basic tools, you can enjoy fresh and delicious noodles that will elevate your dishes. Below, I present to you a step-by-step guide on how to make homemade noodles quickly and efficiently.

Necessary Ingredients

To prepare homemade noodles, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups of wheat flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• Water (if needed, to adjust the dough)

Required Utensils

In addition to the ingredients, make sure you have the following utensils on hand:

• A large bowl
• A rolling pin
• A knife or dough cutter
• A fork
• A colander

Preparing the Dough

1. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Using a fork, beat the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well.

2. Knead the mixture: Once the dough begins to come together, transfer it to a clean surface and knead with your hands. If the dough is too dry, add a little water, but be careful not to add too much. Knead for about 10 minutes until you achieve a smooth and elastic consistency.

3. Let it rest: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or place it in a bowl covered with a clean cloth. Allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out the dough.

Rolling Out the Dough

1. Divide the dough: Once the resting time has passed, divide the dough into two or three parts to make it easier to work with.

2. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each portion of dough to your desired thickness. Generally, a thickness of 1-2 mm is ideal for noodles.

3. Cut the dough: Using a knife or a dough cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into strips of your preferred width. You can make wide or thin noodles according to your tastes.

Cooking the Noodles

1. Boil water: In a large pot, boil enough salted water to cook the noodles.

2. Cook the noodles: Once the water is boiling, add the homemade noodles. Cook them for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness, until al dente.

3. Drain and serve: After cooking, use a colander to drain the noodles. You can serve them immediately with your favorite sauce or add them to your preferred dishes.

Additional Tips

• You can experiment by adding spinach or beetroot to the dough to create colorful noodles.
• Homemade noodles can be dried and stored in a cool, dry place for later use.
