Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour +1/4 cup 00, soft wheat or cake flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • Additional all-purpose flour for dusting

Instructions
 

  • In large mixing bowl, combine flours and salt. Mound the flour then make a well in the center.
  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together the eggs and olive oil.
  • Pour 1/3 egg mixture into flour well, and using two fingers, blend the eggs into the flour, a little at a time, working from the center of the well outward to sides.
  • Continue to mix in this manner until the flour and egg mixture are well combined. If too dry, you may add a few droplets of water.
  • Knead the dough in a lightly floured surface until no long sticky and dough becomes smooth and flexible – about 5 minutes.
  • Shape dough into a ball then flatten into a disc and cover in plastic wrap. Set to side and allow to rest 20-60 minutes.
  • When ready to use, cut dough into 3 sections. Using 1 piece at a time, pat dough into rectangle shape and roll through pasta machine, on widest setting. Take dough and tri-fold it, as you would a letter and roll through machine again. Continue this pattern, reducing width of machine to desired thickness. Note: you only have to trifold the pasta 1-3 times.
  • Set cut pasta to side, lightly covered to prevent drying out. Cook immediately or keep refrigerated up to 24 hours, securely covered with plastic wrap.
