Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2.5 cups flour ('00' flour, semolina flour, all-purpose flour ? or a blend)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Equipment

  • food processor
  • Rolling Pin
  • pasta maker
  • large pot

Method
 

  1. Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the normal blade attachment. Pulse for about 10 seconds until the mixture reaches a crumbly texture.
  2. Remove the dough and form it into a ball with your hands. Place the dough on a lightly-floured cutting board and knead for 1-2 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If too dry, add water; if too wet, add flour.
  3. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  4. Roll out the pasta dough into your desired shape, either by hand or using a pasta maker.
  5. Cook the pasta in a large pot of generously-salted boiling water until al dente, usually between 1-5 minutes depending on thickness. Drain and use immediately.

Notes

Feel free to swap the flour types depending on your preference, add herbs like basil directly into the dough for extra flavor, or experiment with different sauces to match your mood and impress your friends.
