How do you make egg noodles from scratch?

It's easy! Simply add a little flour and salt to a bowl, mix in eggs and a little milk until it's a workable dough. Then roll, cut, and boil!

Do homemade noodles have to dry before cooking?

No! You can cook your fresh pasta right away in a pot of boiling water or broth if making soup. Fresh noodles only take about 3 minutes to cook, though. Take note of the shorter cooking time so that you don't overcook your pasta.

How do you make homemade noodle soup?

I have a great recipe for that! Classic Chicken Noodle Soup made with homemade noodles is the best.

Tips for how to cook or store homemade egg noodles:

You can cook the noodles right away (for about 3 minutes in hot boiling water or broth if making soup) or you can let them dry overnight and then store them in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. I like to make this recipe in large batches on purpose so that I have some to stash in the freezer for later.

Ingredients: 1 1/2- 2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon salt; 2 large eggs; 2 tablespoons milk; Additional flour as needed

Description

A simple guide on how to make homemade noodles with just a few simple ingredients - just like my grandma makes them.

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2- 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Additional flour as needed

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour and salt. Use a fork to combine.
Add the eggs and milk to the bowl. Use your fork to stir and combine well.
When the dough starts to come together, turn it out onto a well-floured surface and knead lightly to form a smooth dough.
Let the dough rest on the counter for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 or 6 parts and roll with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or a pizza wheel to cut the thin dough into noodles, making them the size you prefer. Instead of rolling by hand, you can use a pasta roller to roll and cut your dough (my grandma made so many homemade noodles that she got a pasta roller at some point and used it for years).
You can cook the noodles right away (for about 3 minutes in hot boiling water or broth if making soup) or you can let them dry overnight and then bag and store them in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

This recipe is really easy to scale up if you'd like to make more noodles. I normally triple the recipe and eat half the same day and save the other half in the freezer for a second meal later.
If your dough is pulling back and trying to keep its shape when you try to roll it out, let it rest another 10 minutes.
If your dough is very sticky, add more flour.
If your dough is very dry, put it back in the bowl and mix in additional milk or egg until it's workable.
This is a great recipe to make with kids. Mine love to use mini cookie cutters to make noodle shapes which we just cook up and serve with a simple pasta sauce.
