homemade pasta

Servings: 1 lb pasta

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  • In a food processor pulse all the ingredients together off and on for about 20 seconds.
  • The mixture should resemble crumbled egg yolks.
  • Open the lid and pinch the mixture together and if it pinches easily and stays together it's where you want it to be.
  • Place the mixture on a cutting board and work it into a ball by kneading it twice.
  • All the crumbled pieces will come together easily.
  • Flatten the ball into a disk and let it rest for 30 minutes under a towel.
  • (Begin boiling your water to cook the pasta now)
  • Cut the disk into two pieces.
  • Roll out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
  • Keep rolling until it's thin. I roll it until I really think it could not be any thinner.
  • then roll out the second part of the disk.
  • roll the dough into a log, and slice it into pieces.
  • Unravel the pieces before cooking the pasta.
  • Salt your pasta water and cook pasta for about 2 minutes. Do not overcook the pasta or it will be mushy.
  • Fresh pasta will be al dente.
  • Add your favorite sauce and serve.
