1
Put flour in a large bowl.
-
2
Create a well in the middle of the flour with your hands.
-
3
Place eggs, salt, olive oil and TWO tablespoons of water into the well.
-
4
With a fork, mix up the eggs, and slowly begin bringing flour from the sides into the well.
-
5
You will reach a point where it is easier to mix with your hands as the mixture thickens.
-
6
Knead the dough with your hands, adding a tablespoon of water at a time if needed.
-
7
I usually knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until it has come together totally.
-
8
Form the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap.
-
9
Leave it on your counter for a MINIMUM of 20 minutes.
-
10
If the dough was slightly shaggy when you wrapped it, it will be smooth and nice after its rested.
-
11
Then I divide the dough into 4 and run it thru my pasta maker, but if you dont have a pasta maker, a rolling pin and a knife works just as well.
-
12
Form whatever shape you like from speghetti and fettucine to lasagne sheets and raviolis.
-
13
This dough is universal and just wonderful.
-
14
Make sure to toss your cut pasta with some extra flour to keep it from sticking together.
-
15
Boil in a pot of water for 3-5 minutes, making sure to taste test along the way for doneness.
