Ingredients:
2 extra large eggs
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 cup soy flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 tablespoons additional soy flour

Beat eggs thoroughly with a fork or wire whisk. Add broth to egg mixture
and whisk again. Add flour and salt and mix well. Place a large sheet of
waxed paper on a flat surface, or use a wooden board if you have one.
Sift a tiny amount of the extra soy flour all over the waxed paper or
board. Place the dough on the waxed paper, making sure that all
surfaces, top and bottom, get a light coating of the soy flour (you can
use high gluten wheat flour here as well for a few carbs extra.) Roll out
the dough with a rolling pin until very thin. (The French rolling pins
without handles work best here.) Try to roll the dough into a rectangular
shape. Work fast!

Beginning with the narrow end, gently fold over about 2 inches of dough
and continue turning like a jelly roll until the roll is about 3 inches thick.
Dough should be dry enough so layers do not stick together, but should
not have a heavy coating of extra soy flour.

With a very sharp knife, cut rolled dough in even slices — 1/4 inch wide
for fettuccine and as desired for other pasta (wide noodles for gravy
mixtures should be cut about 1/2 inch wide.) Unroll strips carefully so as
not to break them, and arrange on waxed paper, keeping flat. The
noodles may be left to dry for 1-2 hours, or cooked immediately.

To cook, bring water to a rolling boil. Add salt and put in the pasta,
pushing it down gently until all is submerged in the water. (A little oil
added will keep the pasta from sticking.) Cook to the al dente stage,
testing frequently to make sure the pasta does not overcook. (Al dente
means tender but still firm to bite.) Drain pasta thoroughly in a colander
and use it with your favorite pasta recipe.
