In a large bowl combine the flour and salt. Make a hole in the flour, like a well. Crack the eggs into the hole. Using your hands or a large spoon, mash the eggs and flour together making a coarse and crumbly mixture. Add the water. Mix again until you have a nice, stiff dough.
Knead the dough for a few minutes to get it nice and smooth (5-10 min.). You may need to dust it with a little flour to keep it from sticking to your hands. When you are satisfied with your ball of noodle dough, cover it with a tea towel and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Use a rolling pin and a floured surface to roll the dough out real thin, as the noodles will poof out when they cook. Cut into strips or the shape you want. Let the noodles rest and dry for about 20-30 min if you can.
Cook in a broth that’s boiling and then reduce to simmer for 25-30 minutes.

Fresh noodles cook quickly, so keep an eye on them. Store dried noodles in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
