Egg Pasta

Making fresh pasta is an age old process that every home cook should know how do. Its simple, fast and fun and homemade noodles take just a minute to cook!

2 1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon salt
3 eggs

In a stand mixer with a flat beater attached add flour and salt.

Set the mixer to stir and mix briefly.

Add eggs and mix until the dough forms into a ball.

Remove the dough and wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes before working with it.

When the dough has properly rested cut it into 4 equal pieces and flatten each piece slightly.

Attach the pasta roller to your standing mixer start to work your dough through one piece at a time.

While running the dough through, fold it into thirds to make the edges even.

Repeat this fold and run through the roller processes 3 to 4 more times.

Run the dough through without folding once, this will help make the dough more consistent and elastic.

Run the dough through each level from 1 to 9. This will give the dough a toothsome texture.

Once the dough is thoroughly worked and flattened out you can attach your desired pasta cutting tool.

Set to speed 4 and run the sheet of dough through the cutter.

Lay the cut pasta down and sprinkle with flour giving it a little toss to coat.
