Homemade pasta noodles are so good, soft, tasty, and satisfying . . . a little something different to add to the menu
Homemade noodles are a special treat, one you will make often, once you master the art of noodle-making. Store-bought pasta is fine, for the most part, but homemade noodles offer a completely different texture and taste experience.
Plan to make a batch to serve with dinner.
I make my homemade noodles and then freeze the remainder. Noodles are especially nice on cold winter evenings.
Making your Noodle Dough
Recipe 1: Homemade Pasta Noodles:
- 2 eggs (scramble with a fork)
- half tsp. salt
Add in:
- 2 cups of flour
- 3-4 tbsp. rich cream (I use 18% table cream) + water, as needed
- Mix with a wooden spoon and add liquid to moisten flour until a dough ball forms. Knead until light and smooth.
- Roll out on a floured board and keep working and rolling dough (adding flour) until it is no longer sticky.
- Roll out dough until it is quit thin because it puffs up when cooking.
- Cut your noodles with a knife or a pizza wheel. A pizza wheel saves time and is much easier.
Recipe #2: Homemade Noodles
- 6 eggs
- 1tsp. salt
- 6 tbsp. water
- Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.
- Knead well, then roll into thin sheets on a floured surface and cut in long strips.
- Cook in boiling water until noodles float.
Recipe #3: Noodles for two
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 egg
- salt to taste
- a few drops of milk or water
Noodle makers have different heads for making different shaped noodles.
Cutting your Noodles--Tricks that Make the Process Much Easier (Step 2)
There are two methods that make cutting your noodles much easier.
The very texture of noodle dough is such that if you try to cut it with a regular knife, it stretches and, at times, tears.
- A pizza cutter makes the process one hundred percent easier. The wheel effortlessly slices through the dough and you will have long strips of noodles cut out in record time.
- A hand-cranked pasta maker also makes the process easier and if you want professional-looking noodles, you can feed your dough through one of these and noodles will slide out the other end.

Cooking Your Noodles Step #2
- Drop noodles into boiling water and cook until noodles float.
Scoop noodles out with a slotted spoon (and place in a strainer) to save your hot water, then drop in the next batch of noodles. Serve immediately. Reheat noodles you plan on using later in the day. Freeze remainder.
Storing Homemade Noodles
- Drain noodles in a strainer
- Lay noodles out on a tea towel to drain and dry then freeze in plastic bags or plastic containers

Drying Your Noodles (Step 3)
If you prefer to dry your noodles, inexpensive drying racks are preferable--over using a chair back (as was done years ago) or a broom handle--and can help to drain moisture from noodles prior to freezing.
- Place noodles on a drying rack and allow to completely dry. Store as you would for regular pasta

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup: Homemade noodles have a velvety consistency and go particularly well in homemade chicken noodle soup. Prepare soup and drop in frozen noodles before serving.
Homemade Pasta in a Hurry
A large batch of Homemade noodles can be made ahead of time so that when time is at a premium, you have noodles that are ready to be dropped into boling water. Making your homemade pasta ahead of time makes for easy noodles that are still homemade.
Homemade
noodles can e made using different flour to add wholesomeness to the
mix. Why not try homemade whole wheat or homemade buckwheat noodles?
Cream Sauce for Homemade Noodles #1:
- Melt 2-3 tbsp. butter in saucepan with 1 clove of crushed garlic
- Brown 1 cup of sliced mushrooms (optional)
- Whisk in 2-3 tbsp. flour.
- Add 1 can of chicken broth
- Stir until thickened and reduce heat
- Whisk in 1 cup of cream or can milk
- Season with freshly grated pepper, salt to taste, and a dash of parsley or fresh dill
Ladle over noodles and dust with freshly grated parmesan.
Cream Sauce for Noodles #2
Melt 2-3 tbsp butter in a frypan, whisk in 1-2 tbsp flour, add 1-11/2 cups of milk, simmer, stirring until thickened. Add 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
Top homemade noodles with sauce and, if you have them on hand, garnish with finely chopped chives and cooked crumbled bacon.
A platter of homemade pasta is a hit at any dinner table and is a nice change from the usual dinner fare.
Fresh Pasta with Meat Sauce
Easy Soup Noodles
Use one of the noodle recipes above. Roll noodle dough out into a large thin rectangle on floured counter.
Now, instead of slicing noodles into thin strips, use your pizza cutter and cut dough horizontally and vertically, basically an X's & O's pattern. You will have flat, thin squares, which make nice wholesome soup noodles. Drop these into homemade soup and enjoy!

Hi Funride,
Homemade noodles are a treat. I visited a friend and she served them--and I was hooked. They are so different from store-bought and so filling. Now I understand why people choose to make them
I didn't even know that we could make them at home! I'm so daft!
Thanks, Athlyn!
I love noodles! Thanks for this!
Thanks, Isabella.
My parents made wonderful homemade noodles - the thought has been haunting me lately. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Kat,
You know, for the longest time, I thought: Why would anyone go to the trouble of making noodles when you can buy them? . . . Until I visited a friend and sampled some. From that moment, I was hooked!! My first attempts weren't stellar but now I have the process down.
I love home made noodles, I may have to give this recipe to my mom. Thanks again. Thumbs Up
