HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE EGG NOODLES

1. Mix all the eggs and egg yolks, and water in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix gluten-free flour, olive oil, and salt. Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture and add the egg mixture to it.
3. Stir them and if all is mixing well, move the dough on the floured flat surface and knead it using your hand for 10 -15 minutes. If the dough feels stiff, add more water until pliable. Form into a ball and cover with plastic wraps. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, divide the dough into 4 parts. Start with one part of the dough. Wrap the remaining dough gently in plastic to prevent it from drying out.
5. Put 1 part of the dough on the generous floured flat surface, sprinkle with more flour and roll it just up and down, then flip it. Fold both sides of the dough to the middle, flip, then roll it again up and down until very thin. The thinner, the better (around 1-2 mm).
6. Sprinkle generous flour on the top of rolled dough, and fold in 2 inches from the edges, alternating up and down.
7. Cut the dough into noodles, around ½ inch thick, then loosen them one by one and sprinkle them with flour. Make sure they don't stick to one another. Divide the noodles into 1 portion each.
8. In a pan, boil enough water and add salt. Place a portion of noodles in boiling water and boil for 4-5 minutes depending on how thick your noodles are.
9. Serve with your favorite sauce and garnish with chopped parsley
