Shrimp Scampi

I've had some 00 flour  for a couple of months and decided to make some egg noodles and served it with shrimp scampi.  For Christmas, my sister sent us some Ohama steaks and I figured I could get the last of them out of the freezer with this meal too.  

Egg Noodles

This homemade Egg Noodles recipe only has four simple ingredients and no special equipment. These delicious noodles are perfect for soups, stews, stroganoff or plain with butter and cheese.

 

Prep 20  mins  Cook 5  mins  Total  25  mins

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 3/4 teaspoon salt (4.5 g)
• 2 Tablespoons milk (30 ml)
• 1 1/2- 2 cups all-purpose flour (180 to 240 g)

Instructions

• Mix eggs, milk, and salt together until smooth.  Stir in one cup of flour until smooth. Add additional flour, just a small spoonful at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball, but is still slightly sticky.
  
• Dump dough out onto a floured surface. Use well floured hands to knead the dough with your hands, until it's no longer sticky, about 3-5 minutes. Allow dough to rest for 10 minutes.
  
• Roll out onto a lightly floured counter until it's very thin -- less than 1/4'' thick or paper thin.
• Use a sharp knife or pizza cutting wheel to cut the noodles into long strips, however narrow or wide you like. I like to roughly gather them with my fingers into a pile to make them more shapely, and not so flat. You could even twist some with your fingers to make them prettier.
  
• To cook them immediately, add them to a pot of boiling water and cook until tender to the bite, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and serve in your favorite recipe requiring egg noodles like Easy Beef Stroganoff or Swedish Meatballs.
