Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, and salt and whisk together. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole egg, and 3 tablespoons of cold water. Make a well in the center and add the egg mixture.
Using your hands, mix the flour and salt into the eggs and combined until a dough ball starts to form. Add another tablespoon of water if needed to collect all the flour. (Note: the dough may be slightly sticky but should hold together)
Knead the dough until it is well-combined, adding additional flour a tablespoon at a time if necessary so that it is no longer sticky to the touch.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter. Roll out dough until it's about 1/8" thick. Continue to lightly flour the counter and rolling pin as needed so the dough doesn't stick.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pasta into strips. Loosen the pasta and let it dry on the counter for 20-30 minutes before cooking.
Meanwhile, boil a large pot of salted water. When you are ready to cook the egg noodles, add to boiling water and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
Remove cooked egg noodles with a slotted spoon, or drain the water, and use as desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: store leftover cooked noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Make-ahead tips: if you want to prep the noodles ahead of time, be sure to let them dry for at least 30 minutes before transferring to an airtight container or freezer bags. They can be stored for up to 3 days before cooking.

Freezing homemade pasta dough: wrap well in plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag and store frozen for up to 2 months. To freeze uncooked noodles, transfer to freezer bags and store frozen for up to 2 months.
