How to make curly homemade flat noodles
I know how to make egg noodles, and I either roll them out or use my pasta machine with the fettuccine cutter. This gives me flat egg noodles. I like the curly ones that I buy at the store for some dishes. Is there a technique I can use to make my homemade noodles curly when I want them to be curly? To clarify, I would like them curly at the edges, but still mostly flat, similar to most of the wide egg noodles in the store.
Best Answer
You can curl them at home with a little effort.. Cut your pasta into ribbons and then cut those ribbons into smaller ribbons. Let them dry for just a little while (not so dry that they have lost all moisture) and then pull them gently, twisting them slightly as you do. Let them dry again to set and you should have what you're looking for.

Cut the pasta, then dry it on an irregular surface (find a few dowels of appropriate size or similar items (eg, wooden spoon handles), space them apart an inch or two, then lightly drape the noodles onto the surface).

Easier drying molding, better elasticity. Compared to straight lines, making the surface wavy helps air flow during processing and is easier to dry and shape. When the noodles are cooked, they are more elastic.How to Make Fresh Rice Noodles \
