This is my picky eater of the family. Growing up I have fond memories of escaping to a family friends house (her kids were gone and I still had 4 under me at home ...enough said) and she would make the BEST Chicken noodle soup! The best part was that she'd whip out homemade pasta to throw into it.
Well thanks to Pam I now make homemade noodles too. It took me about 10 years to do so but I finally did make them. There really isn't much to them. You can go with many different variations but they are all about the same ingredients (flour (I should have used wheat..afterthought),eggs,water, oil, salt) I added basil to mine.
Now my favorite part to this chicken noodle soup is that my kids help me. It definitely adds to the character of the pasta as well. :) I have found, especially with my oldest, that the more they help in the process the more they are likely to eat it. I have also read it can take up to 20 times tasting something for kids tastes buds to adapt to it and like it. I can attest to this as it took me close to two years to get this kid to eat anything green. Now he eats veggies like they are going out of style. This has also helped me realize that...the gag reflex after the umpteenth time of mushrooms means he does not like them so, move on.
Try this out (by the way I made this before I had kids so you don't have to use them as an excuse to get dirty:).
