Measure flour into a medium-sized bowl. Make a well in the middle and crack the eggs into it. Using a fork, stir the egg and flour mixture together until if forms a loose, shaggy mixture. Turn the contents of the bowl onto a clean countertop and begin kneading the dough. Continue to knead the dough - feel free to use a little force and be aggressive here! It's a great opportunity to relieve a little stress. Knead the dough until it is a smooth, elastic mass, about 8 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow to rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes. Don't be tempted to skip this step - it makes all the difference for a soft, tender noodle.", "Heat oven to 400u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the ground beef, egg, oatmeal and all of the spices in a medium bowl. Using clean hands, mix all of the ingredients together so they are well combined. Measure out teaspoon-sized quantities of the meatball mixture onto a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until meatballs are browned through.

Roll the dough out with a pasta machine or a rolling pin as thinly as you can into 3"" strips. Brush the dough with the egg mixture. Place the meatballs on one half of the pasta strip, 1"" apart. Fold the other half of the noodle over the top of the meatballs, and press with your fingers between each meatball to push the air out. Press around each meatball to seal the pasta edges together. Cut to shape with a pastry cutter. Flour each piece lightly to preventing them sticking to each other.

Boil for 5 minutes (8 -10 if frozen). Remove from heat. Serve immediately in deep bowls with shredded parmesan cheese and diced scallions/green onions for garnish."]
