In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs inside. Use how many eggs depends on how rich you want your noodles. Now, using a fork, start whisking the eggs gradually incorporating the flour from the edges.

Once the dough begins to come together, transfer it onto a floured surface. Knead it for about 8 to 10 minutes. This step is vital; it develops the gluten, which contributes to the texture. You want a smooth, elastic dough. If it feels too dry, add a bit of the cold filtered water.

Now comes the fun part! Divide the dough into manageable sections. Using a rolling pin, roll each section out to about 1/8 inch thickness. Be sure to dust with flour to prevent sticking. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, try to roll it as thin as possible for delicate noodles.

Once rolled, use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into your desired noodle width. Whether you prefer wide or narrow noodles, this is your canvas. Dust the cut noodles with flour to keep them from clumping.

Allow your freshly cut noodles to sit for about 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up and becomes the perfect vehicle for your favorite sauces.

Cook the noodles in a pot of boiling salted water. Fresh noodles will cook in about 2 to 4 minutes. Don't forget to taste test. Once done, drain and rinse in cool water to stop the cooking process.
