As Federico Fellini once said “ life is a combination of magic and pasta “. Making your own pasta is a pure delight! It does take some time but if you have a pasta machine (we have the old school Imperia one) the process is straight forward and the reward massive.
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- every 100 gr of 00 flour.
Place the flour in a mound on a flat surface, make a well for the eggs add the eggs to the well, whisk the eggs with a fork gradually adding flour from the well, keep whisking until a shaggy dough comes together, knead for 10 / 15 minutes until the dough is smooth, form into a ball cover with plastic foil and let rest for 30 minutes. Cut a piece from the dough place it on a lightly floured surface, flatten the dough, set the pasta machine to the widest setting, run the dough trough and repeat. Roll the dough sheets trough the machine 5 to 6 times adjusting each time the machine to the next setting. ( on our machine we do not use the last setting it results to thin ) you can cut the dough sheets into your desired shapes. Done ! Buon appetito !
