Method

Mix flour, water and salt to form a stiff dough, then knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Rest the dough for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by heating oil in a large pan and frying diced meat until browned, then add chopped onions, carrot, pepper and tomatoes, simmering for 25-30 minutes with spices until the meat is tender and sauce thickens. Roll the dough thin and cut into thin noodle-like strands by hand or with a knife. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the noodles until tender, approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain the noodles and place in a serving bowl, then pour the hot meat sauce over the top and mix well, garnishing with fresh herbs and crushed garlic.
