Ingredients




4 cups All-purpose or whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 Egg yolk
1/2 cup to ⅔ cup cold water

Preparation

1 Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Add the egg yolk and enough cold water to make a stiff dough. Knead thoroughly. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it stand for 30 minutes.  2 Sprinkle a board and rolling pin with additional flour. Roll out the dough until it is paper-thin. Fold the dough into a long, loose roll and cut it crosswise into strips, 1/10 inch wide. When unrolled, the dough strips should be at least 12 inches long.  3 Cook for three or four minutes in boiling salted water.

If you have a pasta rolling machine, use it instead of rolling by hand.
