Ingredients

6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour1-1/2 teaspoons salt6 eggs, lightly beaten1 cup water1 tablespoon canola oilMelted butter and minced fresh parsley, optional

Preparation

In a large bowl, combine 6 cups flour and salt. Make a well in the center. Beat eggs and water; pour into well. Stir together, forming a dough. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead 8-10 times.

Divide dough into eight portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 1/16-in.-thick square. Let stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Roll up, jelly-roll style. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-in. slices. Unroll noodles and dry in a single layer on paper towels for 1 hour before cooking.

To cook, bring salted water to a rapid boil. Add noodles and oil to boiling water; cook for 2 minutes or until tender but not soft. Drain; toss with butter and parsley if desired.
