Preparation:
Make a well in center of flour. Mix in egg yolks, egg and 1 teaspoon salt thoroughly. Mix in 1/3 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is stiff but easy to roll. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll one part at a time into paper-thin rectangle on generously floured surface (keep remaining dough covered). Loosely fold rectangle lengthwise into thirds. Cut crosswise into 1/8-inch strips for narrow noodles, 1/4-inch strips for wide noodles. (If using pasta machine, pass dough through machine until 1/16-inch thick.) Unfold strips and place in single layer on towels about 2 hours or until stiff and dry. Break strips into smaller pieces. Heat 3 quarts water to boiling. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and the noodles. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until almost tender; drain. (To cook half of the noodles, use 2 quarts of water.) |
