Pro Tips and Variations
Resting the dough, even briefly, makes a big difference—it rolls thinner and more evenly. If you want extra‑rich noodles, you can replace a bit of the water with another yolk and adjust flour as needed. For more color or subtle flavor, a pinch of turmeric or a bit of chicken bouillon powder can be mixed into the flour.
FAQ
Do I need a pasta machine?
No, this dough is designed to roll by hand; a simple rolling pin and a pizza cutter or knife are enough.
Can I cook them directly in soup?
Yes. You can simmer the noodles directly in simmering broth; just be aware they may thicken the broth slightly as they release starch.
How firm should the dough be?
It should feel smooth and elastic, not sticky or crumbly. Adjust with small amounts of flour or water as you knead to reach that balance.
