Grundstock Nudelteig (Basic Pasta Dough)

4 Servings

400 g flour (3 1/2 cups)
2 eggs
1/8 l water (1/2 cup plus 1/2
-tbsp)

Mix flour, eggs (only if pasta is supposed to be more on the firm
side), and water, and knead into a firm dough. Continue kneading
until dough pulls free off hands and pasta board. Cut into 2 or 3
loaves, and again knead until smooth. Let rest for 20 to 30 minutes,
then - on a floured pastry board - roll out. Cut noodles with a
knife, or roll with with the palm of your hand.

Serves 4.
