Instructions
In a small bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center; add eggs. Stir together, forming a dough.
Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead for 5-6 minutes. Divide dough in half.
Roll each portion into a 12-in. x 9-in. rectangle. Dust both sides of dough with flour; roll up, jelly-roll style.
Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Unroll noodles on paper towels; let dry for up to 2 hours.
In a Dutch oven, bring water to a rapid boil.
Add noodles; cook for 7-9 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat; stir in cheese until melted. Stir in eggs.
Drain noodles; transfer to a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Top with cheese sauce. Cover and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Dornfelder
Riesling and Dornfelder are great choices for German. Beer might seem like the natural pick for German food, but German riesling pairs wonderfully with seafood and schnitzel, while a German red like Dornfelder goes well with beef and game meat. The Domaine LesSurre Semi Dry Cuvee Classique Riesling with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 22 dollars per bottle.
