Total time:
Serves: 3-4
- 2 eggs
- 1.5 Cup (~180g) of type '00' or all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp of olive oil
- Form the Flour into a Volcano
- In a separate bowl beat the egg until smooth
- Pour the beaten egg into the center of the volcano and slowly incorporate the flour
- Add the olive oil
- Knead the dough for roughly 10 minutes or until smooth
- If the dough remains sticky add flour in small doses
- Seperate the dough into balls - roughly 2 balls for every egg you use
- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes
- Sprinkle some salt into a large stock pot of water and set on high to begin boiling
- Break the dough into small balls roughly the size of racket ball
- Roll the dough through each setting of your pasta roller (from thickest to thinnest), dusting the flour each time to prevent sticking
- Take the thinnest sheet, dust it with some flour, and roll it through your pasta cutter to make your desired pasta
- Take the cut pasta and boil for ~2 minutes
Using a powered pasta attachment like for a kitchen aid will greatly speed things up.
I always recommend weighing ingredients to get repeatable results!
