Pasta Dough Recipe

With this pasta dough recipe and this fresh pasta recipe video you’ll be able to prepare wonderful homemade pasta from scratch.

To make 1 pound (500 gr.) of pasta, you’ll need:

4 cups (400 gr.) of all-purpose FLOUR

4 EGGS

1/2 a teaspoon of extra-virgin OLIVE OIL

On a large wooden cutting board, mound 3 1/2 cups of flour.

In the middle of the flour make a well, add the eggs and the olive oil.

With a fork start beating the eggs and the oil and begin to incorporate the flour.

This initial part will be a little messy and the dough will stick to your fingers but it will all come together once the flour is all incorporated.

Knead the dough using the heels of your hands, add half of the remaining flour and scrape the board from the crusty bits.

Lightly dust the board with the flour and work the dough for ten minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Wrap in plastic and let it rest for half an hour.

Roll it with a rolling pin or a pasta machine.
