Special Notes
These homemade egg noodles are incredibly tender and flavorful. The key is to knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, and to roll it very thin. The eggs give the noodles a rich, yellow color and tender texture. They're perfect for soups, stews, or any pasta dish. Fresh noodles cook much faster than dried ones.
