Homemade Egg Noodles

2 ½ c flour

½ tsp salt

2 large eggs

4 Tbl water

1 tsp olive oil

By Food Processor:

In the bowl of your food processor, combine the flour and salt.  In a liquid measuring cup whisk the eggs, water and oil.  Turn on the machine, and pour the liquid mixture in a continuous stream into the flour, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Dump out the dough (it will seem a bit crumbly) and press/knead together into a round disc shape. Wrap in plastic and let rest in the refrigerator for an hour. It is now ready to put through the pasta maker, or hand roll and cut with a pizza cutter. Dough should be about ⅛”’ thick.

By Hand:

Put the flour in a bowl, or on a clean surface, and make a well in the center.  Whisk the wet ingredients and salt together and slowly pour into the flour.  Mix with your fingers until it comes to a nice dough. Knead for 8-10 min, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate for an hour. It is now ready to put through the pasta maker, or hand roll and cut with a pizza cutter. Dough should be about ⅛”’ thick.

Mac and Cheese

Ingredients:
2 cups macaroni, uncooked
4 cups milk (2% or higher)
4 Tbsp. salted butter, melted
1 tsp. table salt
8 oz. Velveeta cheese, cubed or shredded
4 cups shredded cheese (2 cups cheddar, 2 cups mixed cheeses)
1 tsp. dry mustard powder

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Cut up your Velveeta cheese into small 1/2-inch cubes (or you can shred it). In a medium bowl, combine milk with melted butter.  Add in salt and dry mustard powder. Pour in uncooked macaroni and Velveeta. Next add in 2 cups of shredded mixed cheeses and give it all a good stir. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.  Cover with aluminium foil.

Bake for about 50-60 minutes (until macaroni is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed). Oven times vary so check it around the 40 minute mark. Take it out of the oven, remove foil, and top with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Put it back in the oven (uncovered) for another 10-15 minutes (until cheese is melted, bubbly and golden). Serve warm.
