Fettuccine Alfredo W/ Homemade Noodles

I was  disappointed with this recipe. But I do think it has potential. In my opinion it was too much butter & too much Parmesan Cheese. I would possibly try 1/2 each of those ingredients. It was too sweet and too cheesy. The Noodles were fantastic though!! I think they may taste better in a soup rather than a pasta because they are a thicker/ tougher noodle but they tasted yummy! 



Homemade Pasta

2 C Flour
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Large Eggs
1/4 C Water
1 T Vegetable oil

1. In medium bowl mix flour and salt. Make a well in the center of mixture. Add eggs, water and oil into well; mix thoroughly.

2. Gather dough into a ball. On lightly floured surface knead 5-10 min or until smooth and springy. Let stand 15 minutes. 

3. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll 1/4 dough out at a time into the shape of a rectangle. 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. Loosely fold rectangle lengthwise into thirds. Cut crosswise into 1/4 inch strip for Fettuccine noodles. Unfold gently, shake out strips. Arrange on a floured towel let set for 30 minutes or until dry. 

4. In sauce pan heat water to boil. Add Noodles boil for 2-5 minutes or until tender and done.
