This is a recipe I serve each year for my holiday open house because everyone looks for it. Store-bought noodles can be substituted, but I prefer homemade noodles...and so does everyone else. Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 quarts water |
cheese sauce: |
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
1-1/2 cups milk |
8 ounces swiss cheese, diced |
2 eggs, well beaten |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center; add eggs. Stir together, forming a dough.
2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead for 5-6 minutes. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Dust both sides of dough with flour; roll up, jelly-roll style. Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Unroll noodles on paper towels; let dry for up to 2 hours.
3. In a Dutch oven, bring water to a rapid boil. Add noodles; cook for 7-9 minutes or until tender.
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until melted. Stir in eggs.
5. Drain noodles; transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Top with cheese sauce. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Yield: 8 servings.
