Grama'S Noodles
Homemade noodles with simple ingredients, offering a fresh, tender bite. Perfect for comforting meals or customizing with your favorite sauces and toppings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs, water, flour, and a pinch of salt together to form a firm dough.
- Knead the dough until smooth, then roll out into thin sheets.
- Cut the rolled dough into long strips to form noodles.
- Let the noodles dry for a short time before cooking.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure your noodles are perfectly textured, knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it. You can substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan option. Consider adding herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor. For a delicious twist, serve with Tarragon Butter.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the noodles tossed in your favorite sauce or with sautéed vegetables for a quick meal. They pair beautifully with a rich meat sauce or a light olive oil and garlic dressing. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a salad or a protein dish, such as grilled chicken or fish. They also work great in soups, adding heartiness and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply boil in water for a few minutes until warmed through. You can also sauté them in a bit of oil or butter for added flavor. For longer storage, consider freezing the uncooked noodles, which can last for up to 2 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. When you’re ready to use it, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling it out.
What type of flour is best for making noodles?
All-purpose flour works well for making noodles, but you can also experiment with semolina or whole wheat flour for different textures and flavors. Semolina will give your noodles a slightly firmer bite, while whole wheat will add a nutty flavor and extra nutrients.
How do I know when the noodles are cooked?
Fresh noodles usually cook faster than dried ones, typically taking just 2-4 minutes in boiling water. They are done when they float to the surface and have a tender texture. Always taste a noodle to ensure it has reached your desired doneness.
