  • 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

  1. Step 1

    Sift the flour into a mound on a countertop or board, or, if it's more comfortable for you, into a large bowl.

    Make a well in the center of the flour.

  3. Step 3

    Add eggs, salt, and olive oil to the well.

  4. Step 4

    Mix liquid and flour together with fingers.

  5. Step 5

    Roll the sheet up into a roll, like a jelly roll.

    Dry pasta for at least 10 to 15 minutes before using. For best results, dry for two hours.

on 11/22/2005 When making homemade pasta, if
you have a food processor, simply place the ingredients in the processor and mix. Then set
the dough aside for 30 minutes. It's a much easier and neater way to make pasta.
