• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 5 Large eggs
• 1 ¾ Cups water

Mix flour, basil and onion powder in a large bowl. Season with the salt and pepper, make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Whisk eggs and 1 ¾ cup of water in another bowl. Pour wet into the dry well and stir until combined. Dough will be thick.
