PARMESAN NOODLES FOR TWO
I used to love the boxed side dish "Noodle Roni Parmesano." I hadn't seen it in store shelves for quite some time, so I played around until I came up with something close to it. As it is just me and my DS at home these days, I intentionally developed the recipe as a side dish for two (or a main course for one!) Although I haven't tried it, I would imagine the recipe would double easily enough.

Tips:
- Use the right flour: All-purpose flour is a good choice for beginners, but you can also experiment with bread flour or semolina flour for a chewier noodle.
- Make sure your dough is well-rested: This will help the gluten to develop and make the noodles more elastic.
- Roll out your dough thinly: The thinner you roll it, the more delicate the noodles will be.
- Cut your noodles evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Cook your noodles in plenty of boiling water: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Don't overcook your noodles: They should be cooked until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Drain your noodles well: This will help to prevent them from becoming mushy.
