Ingredients
- 415 g (2¾ cups) plain flour, sifted, plus extra, to dust
- 2 eggs
- 125 g unsalted butter, melted
- 150 g blue cheese
Resting time 30 minutes
Instructions
Combine flour and 1 tbsp salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add eggs. Using your fingers, break egg yolks and combine with egg whites, then mix into flour. Add water, 1 tbsp at a time, working mixture with your hands until dough is soft but not sticky; you will need up to 250 ml water. Knead dough for 5 minutes or until smooth, then cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 pieces. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured work surface to a 40 cm x 24 cm rectangle. Cut into 4 cm squares, then dust lightly with flour and set aside.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add noodles and cook for 5 minutes or until al dente. Drain and quickly transfer to a bowl. Pour over hot melted butter and toss to combine. Crumble over cheese to serve.
