I usually bought lasagna noodles until I started making them. They are not really hard to make and they make the lasagna taste so much better. It is a matter of pulling out the pasta machine and having a little more time to make the noodles.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of flour
- 5 eggs
- a pinch of salt
- drizzle of olive oil
Make a mound of the flour and hollow out a hole in the top. Crack the 5 eggs into the top of the mound and mix it together to make the dough. Kneed into a dough and drizzle about 1 tbs of olive oil over the dough and kneed some more. The dough will get elastic. Roll into a ball and cover with a tea towel for about a half an hour to rest.
Cut the ball into 4 pieces and then press down. Roll out on #1 and fold over and roll again. Roll out on #2 through 5, the width of the rollers. when you get to 5 cut the length of the pan.
Cook in a pan one or 2 at a time for 2 to 3 minutes and then lay on paper towels. Now you can put them together into the lasagna.
