Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour 15oz/426g
  • 4 large eggs or 5 small eggs

Instructions
 

  • On a large flat clean surface place the flour in a mound.
  • Crack all 4 large eggs into the center of the mound of flour creating a well to hold the eggs.
  • Using a light hand, break the yolks of the egg and gently bring the flour into the center of the well using your fingertips.
  • Keep incorporating the flour into the eggs until all the flour has been absorbed. This will be a messy process, but it is well worth it!
  • Once the dough starts to form, bring it together with your palms and knead into a smooth yellow dough. This will take roughly 5 minutes.
  • Note: If your dough is on the dry side you can add a little SLASH of water to bring it together.
  • When the dough forms a ball, cover tightly with cling wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow the dough the rest and the gluten to develop. No longer than 18 hours.
  • After resting, remove the dough from the fridge and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Set aside and cover with a towel to stop it from drying out.
  • Flour your work surface and rolling pin and roll 1 ball of dough at a time into a large thin sheet. I don't give dimensions for this part as it varies but my one note would be to get it as thin humanly possible. Like paper-thin.
  • Once the dough has been rolled out, fold it over itself several times. Cut the roll of pasta into strips roughly 1/4 inch thick depending on what pasta you are making. Then dust some flour over the sliced strips of dough and unravel them to reveal your fresh pasta!
  • Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
  • Set cut pasta aside on a tray and leave it out at room temperature to cook-off or cover and place in the fridge to be cooked later.
  • To Cook Fresh Pasta
  • Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and boil 8 cups of water. Once the water is boiling salt it and place the fresh pasta in the water.
  • Add the pasta and allow to cook for roughly 2 minutes or until tender. When the pasta floats to the top of the pot it is ready.
  • Strain the water off the pasta and serve as desired.
  • How to Store Fresh Pasta
  • To store fresh pasta keep it covered on a tray in the fridge for up to 3 days. It also freezes really well for up to 4 weeks.
