Things You'll Need:
- Unbleached flour
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Ground black pepper (as much as desired)
- 1 cup chilled water
- 4 eggs
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
-
Step 1
Begin by cracking open the 4 eggs and placing them in a mixing bowl.
-
Step 2
Add in the cup of chilled water, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
-
Step 3
Whisk the mixture until it becomes a buttery color and develops froth, or white foam, on the surface. This will take approximately 3 minutes.
-
Step 4
Gradually add the flour and stir after each flour addition. There really is no standard amount of flour; keep adding it until the mixture is doughy. Knead the dough by pushing it away from you with the palm of your hand for 30 seconds.
-
Step 5
Separate the dough into 3 balls of equal or similar size. If you have a pasta machine, run the dough through it one ball at a time. If you are not using a pasta machine, use a rolling pin to flatten the dough until it is approximately 1/16 of an inch thick.
-
Step 6
If you are using a pasta machine, run the pasta sheets through it to cut. If you are not using one, fold the resulting rectangle in half lengthwise. Use a long, thin knife to carefully cut the pasta into equal strips. Unfold and either hang on a clean rack or leave on a flat surface to dry. You are all finished! Once dry, cook your pasta in boiling water as you normally would.
