Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 whole Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process for 5 seconds to combine.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl to ensure no shell fragments get into the dough. Then add the eggs, olive oil, and a tablespoon of water to the flour mixture in the food processor.
Pulse the food processor in short bursts until the mixture begins to clump together. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Check the dough by pinching a small amount between your fingers. If it holds together but isn’t sticky, it’s ready. If it's too dry and crumbly, add an extra teaspoon of water, pulse again, and check the consistency.
Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough by hand for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth, elastic ball.
Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Once rested, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces for easier handling. Roll and shape using a pasta machine or rolling pin to your desired thickness, then cut into the pasta shape of your choice.
Cook fresh pasta in boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes, or until just tender. Serve with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
