• With a freshly cleaned counter (or table) top, add flour and salt. Mix well with fingertips until well incorporated in a mound.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour mound, then add the pumpkin puree.
• Slowly combine the flour, salt and pumpkin mixture by folding in the flour on the outsides to the pumpkin puree on the inside. Repeat this process until combined in to a dough ball.
• If you feel the dough is too dry (depending on how humid your house is), then add a little olive oil here. Once it’s no longer dry, continue with the process.
• Knead the egg free pumpkin noodle dough for 10 minutes. Yes, I know. 10 minutes is going to be a great workout for your arms! Perfect for the holidays!
• Wrap your dough ball in plastic wrap or beeswax wrap, then rest for 45 minutes.
• After 45 minutes, unwrap your egg free pumpkin noodle dough.

Pasta Machine Method

• If you’re using a pasta machine, divide the dough into 4 separate dough balls. Cover the ones you’re not using while you’re working with a dough ball.
• Starting out on the thickest level (Level 1 for my pasta maker), roll your dough through the machine. Continue with this process until your desired thickness. If you’re wanting a thick “egg” noodle, I recommend going to Level 5 or 6. If you’re wanting more of a fettuccini noodle, then go until it’s the last setting (mine is Level 9).
• Then switch pasta machine heads to the thick slicer one. This will cut your noodles for you.
• After cutting your noodles, sprinkle each batch with a little extra flour so they don’t stick together.
• Continue this method until you go through the entire batch of egg free pumpkin noodle dough.

By Hand Method

• Unwrap your egg free pumpkin noodle dough ball and place on a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, roll the dough out until it’s your desired thickness. (I prefer 1/4″ thickness) Then with a knife or a round pizza cutter, cut the noodles at your desired width.
• Just like previously stated, between piles of noodles add flour so they don’t stick together.

Cooking Egg Free Pumpkin Noodles

• Add water to a Dutch oven or large pot and set to high heat. Once the water is almost at a boil, add about 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
• Once boiling, add the noodles to the water and cook until they float (about 5 minutes depending on thickness you cut). They cook quickly which is such a wonderful perk of homemade noodles.
• Enjoy!
