Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother dough, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing. If you need a gluten-free option, consider using a gluten-free all-purpose flour. To enhance flavor, add a pinch of salt or a tablespoon of olive oil to the mixture. Homemade noodles can be slightly thicker than store-bought, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
