This is how my Grandma taught me to make noodles when I was young. She called the thin rectangles “books” and she was very particular about noodles being the same width when cut. She liked hers very thin. I never could get them cut as evenly as she could. Thanks for sharing and bringing back wonderful memories2Reply
