How to make your own Pasta
There is nothing better then fresh pasta. This is a simple way to make pasta in your home.
Ingredients:
• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
Directions:
• Mix the flour and salt
• Dump the flour mixture on a counter or in a bowl
• Make a well in the center and add your eggs
• Slowly beat the eggs adding a small amount of flour a little at a time.
• Once the flour and eggs are mixed completely forming a dough knead into a ball
• Let the dough rest in the frigid for 30-45 min.
• Once it is done resting knead for 5-6 min.
• Cut the dough into 3 sections
• Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out thin enough until it is nearly see through
OR
• Roll the dough out until it is thin enough to send through a pasta sheet attachment on the widest opening (on mine, it an 8)
• Sending the dough through 3 time and then bump the level down 2 notches at a time.
• Once you get to the smallest setting send your dough through once and lay flat.
• At this point you can cut the dough into strips using a knife, hand held pasta cutter or pasta cutter attachment.
• Flour your cut pasta well so it doesn’t clump and turn into dumplings.
• Spread the well floured pasta on a cookie sheet and let it dry out before cooking. (15-30 min.)
• Add your dry pasta to a pot of boiling water for 3-5 min.
OR
• Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Drain
• Serve with your favorite pasta sauce.
