Things You'll Need:
- Pasta maker
- Large bowl
- Fork
- 2 1/4 c. all purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- extra all purpose flour for dusting
- wet cloth
-
Step 1
Pour 2 1/4 c. all purpose flour into a large bowl. Push flour up the sides of the bowl to make a well in the middle.
-
Step 2
Crack 3 eggs into the center of the well in the flour.
-
Step 3
Begin stirring the eggs into the flour with a fork, slowing pulling in more flour with each stir.
-
Step 4
Keep stirring until egg and flour are fully mixed. Add a small amount of water if the mixture seems too dry, or a small amount of flour if it's too sticky.
-
Step 5
Pour the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
-
Step 6
Begin kneading the dough with your hands to help the dough come together. Knead for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and even colored, forming the dough into a ball.
-
Step 7
Cover the ball of dough with a wet cloth and let rest 10-15 minutes.
-
Step 8
Once the dough has rested, attach the pasta maker to your counter top and lightly flour the pasta maker and the counter.
-
Step 9
Break off a small piece of dough (about 1/4 of the ball).
-
Step 10
Set your pasta maker to the widest setting and run pasta through. Repeat 3 times on this setting, folding the pasta in half each time.
-
Step 11
Now begin dialing the pasta maker down. For example, run the dough through at a "6" setting, fold it in half, then run it through the "5" setting and so on, until you reach the lowest setting and have a long, thin sheet of pasta.
-
Step 12
Set pasta aside on lightly floured surface while you finish rolling out the remaining dough. Use immediately or refrigerate up to 3 days.
