You will fall in love with this homemade pasta recipe! It's amazing how such simple ingredients can be transformed into a delicious dish with such a "wow" factor. Once you get the hang of making your own pasta from scratch, you will be making it nonstop!
Make a well with the flour using your fingers or fist and then simply pour the eggs into the well. Poke the yolks with a fork and simply mix the eggs until they are scrambled.
Then start scraping the sides of the well walk bit by with incorporating the flour with the eggs until the walls are gone and what you are left with is a paste.
Then using your hands form the dough and begin to knead until it has become somewhat of a ball. Then briefly knead only a minute and then once you have formed a dough ball wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Using a cutter or scrapper cut the dough into four portions.
Remove from plastic and start pressing it out using your fingers and be sure to use some bench flour as well. Then use a rolling pin to flatten it out and fold over into three’s and then repeat the process and roll it out thin enough to start running it through the pasta maker.
Then after 3-4 passes you should have it thin enough to your liking or what is said you should be able to see your fingers through it once pressing on it.
Then simply cut the pasta and incorporate a little flour so that it doesn’t stick together and then use right away and or freeze for use later.
