Basic Fresh Pasta
from Jeanne! Please note you'll need a pasta maker to do the kneading and rolling of the dough.
Ingredients
- 2 1/3 c flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp water, if needed
Directions
-
In the food processor, mix the first three ingredients with the blade. Don’t overmix it - pulse it until it appears like sand. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough reaches the desired consistency - dry, and clumps when pinched between your fingertips.
-
Dump out and pack into a cohesive dry dough.
-
Pinch off a small portion and flatten into a small disk. Roll through Number 1 on the pasta machine, then fold it in half. Repeat up to 4 times. Roll once through up through each number (go up to 7 for fettuccine, 6 for lasagna noodles). If using, roll through fettuccine cutter. Hang on pasta stand to dry.
-
Salt and boil water. Add fresh pasta to water and cook (it won’t take long!). Serve with sauce.
