Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt to the flour before mixing with the egg. If you want a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the flour with semolina. Ensure the dough rests adequately to make it easier to roll out. You can also add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor. This recipe is a great base for other dishes, similar to American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the noodles topped with the tomato mixture, garnished with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with a side salad or crusty bread. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light protein, such as grilled chicken or fish, to balance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooked noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the noodles ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and cut the noodles ahead of time. Store them in a single layer on a floured surface, covered with a cloth, for up to a day. Alternatively, you can freeze the uncooked noodles on a baking sheet and then transfer them to a freezer bag for later use.
What type of tomatoes should I use?
For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh tomatoes like Roma or San Marzano. If fresh tomatoes aren't available, you can substitute with canned diced tomatoes. Just remember to adjust the cooking time as canned tomatoes typically require less time to break down.
Can I add vegetables to the dish?
Absolutely! Adding sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach can enhance the dish's nutrition and flavor. Just make sure to cook them before adding to the tomato mixture, as this will help retain their texture and taste.
