Homemade Pasta

 

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
• 3 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions

• Place the flour in a stand mixer. Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt. 
• Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes. At the beginning, the dough should feel pretty dry, but stick with it! It might not feel like it’s going to come together, but after 8-10 minutes of kneading, it should become cohesive and smooth. You will need to scrape down the sides occasionally. If the dough still seems too dry, sprinkle your fingers with a tiny bit of water to incorporate. If it’s too sticky, dust more flour onto your work surface. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Dust a large pastry mat with flour.
• Slice the dough into four pieces. Gently flatten one into an oval disk. Run the dough through the Pasta Roller Attachment or a pasta maker three times on the widest setting.
• Set the dough piece onto a countertop or work surface. 
• Run the dough through the pasta roller three times on the next smaller level, keep changing the level until your desired thickness.
• Lay half of the pasta sheet onto the floured pastry mat and sprinkle with flour. Every side should be floured so that your final pasta noodles won't stick together.
• Repeat with remaining dough.
• Run the pasta sheets through the Pasta Cutter Attachment. Repeat with remaining dough. Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes.
