Cilantro Lime Chicken Noodle Soup-Homemade Noodles

Preparing pasta at home? Preparing pasta at home, in a small kitchen with no counter space? Never say never! I am always up for a food challenge. Even if it’s just once, I must try. Most times I am pleasantly surprised with the results and happy for trying. Ok, so were talking small size pasta, like egg noodles,  gnocchi and orecchiette. Anything bigger than that and I would really need a pasta making machine. For today’s blog post I prepared egg noodles using a pasta flour made of semolina. The recipe below will yield a big batch of noodles. I used only half per soup recipe. The noodles are hearty, not mushy at all and think they would be delicious in a beef chili recipe with lot’s of cheese on top! Lol! Guess I am hungry. Time to head into the kitchen and get some of that kitchen therapy that always makes for a better day. 

 

Homemade Noodles

Ingredients
2 1/3 cups Pasta flour
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
2/3 cup warm water

Note~ This was enough pasta for 2 soup recipes

Preparing Homemade Noodles

This really is a no fuss way to prepare homemade noodles without a pasta machine. But of course with a pasta machine you could get a thinner, softer noodle.

Cut the noodles as uniform as you can for even cooking time.

Toss in a little flour while they dry.

  1. Sift flour into a large bowl. Make a well in center of flour and pour 2 eggs into well. add salt and oil. Mix ingredients with fork and gradually add in the warm water until dough forms. If too dry, add alittle more water. Knead until you have a soft dough. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.

2. Divide dough into four pieces and cover each piece with plastic so it does not dry out.Take 2 of the pasta dough balls, roll each piece to 1/8 inch thickness. Let rest for 5 minutes. Cut into noodles with sharp knife. Transfer to a lined baking sheet sprinkled with a little flour and let dry. Try to spread them out so they are not all clumped together or stacked on top of each other. Let dry for 1 hour. Drop into boiling soup and cook for 6 to 9 minutes. Do not overcook.

Preparing Homemade Noodles

I was curious on how much the noodles weighed. The entire batch weighed 1 pound. I only used 1/2 pound in each soup recipe .
