No need for a pasta roller or even a mixer to make the noodles. Using your hands to knead the dough and a sharp knife is the equipment you’ll need to make the egg noodles.

Some tips for an amiable experience.
Flour is your bestfriend! Always flour when folding and rolling the dough to avoid the noodles from sticking together.
You have control over the thickness and width of the noodles. So, depending on what noodle dish you’re planning to make, make them as thick or as thin as you want.
Add flour gradually when forming the dough. Just add enough flour until the dough doesn’t stick to the mixing bowl or counter top.

The secret ingredient is always LOVE
