Making pasta is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun.
Try making pasta, it may change the way you look at one of my favorite foods.

Ingredients for the Easy Pasta Dough Recipe

• 2 3/4 Cups of flour (I recommend King Arthur Flour Flour White Bread, 5-pounds (Pack of 4). Bread flour is better for Pasta. All purpose will work)

• 1 teaspoon of salt

• 1 Tablespoon of olive oil (Optional)

• 1 teaspoon of salt

• 3 eggs at room temperature

Directions
 

1. In a bowl combine the flour and salt. Mix well with a fork until salt is well mixed.

2. Mound flour on the counter.

3. In separate bowl whisk 3 eggs. Add 1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil  (Optional)

4. In the middle of the mound of flour make a hole or moat.

5. Pour in egg mixture and mix with flour until all egg mixture has beeen absorbed by the flour

6. Knead for 8-10 minutes until dough is barely sticky to touch.

7. This is a very tough dough to work with with, but keep kneading.

8. If dough mixture is to dry, add a bit of water. If to wet add a bit of flour.

9. After completely kneaded, form dough into a ball. Cover and allow to rest 20-30 minutes.

10. Cut ball into quarters.

11. Pinch end and run through pasta machine at least 4-5 times on each setting.

12. When desired thickness is reached, use specialized pasta cutter to form pasta.
