Serves: 6 people
Ingredients
  • 1 pound All Purpose Flour
  • 5 Eggs
Instructions
  1. Begin mixing all ingredients together with a fork in a bowl until the ingredients come together as much as possible, this is going to be a very dry dough.
  2. Once you have mixed it as much as possible in the bowl, turn out onto your counter
  3. Knead and mix by hand on your counter until you develop a somewhat cohesive dough
  4. Now you will start rolling the dough through your pasta roller using the widest or thickest setting. Keep folding it up and re-rolling it through the machine at the thickest setting. The more you fold and re-roll it through the machine, the smoother it gets.
  5. Eventually you will be able to roll it through and it will get real smooth, that is when you start thinning the sheet of pasta.
  6. You roll it through the machine using progressively thinner settings making the sheet thinner and longer each time until you reach the thickness you want.
  7. Then you can start running the sheet through the part of the machine that cuts the sheet into individual noodles
  8. Lay the noodles out to dry if you don't plan to cook them immediately. If you do cook immediately, it doesn't take nearly as long to cook fresh pasta noodles as it does dried pasta noodles
