Italian cuisine
Ingredients
- 300 g (1½ cups) all-purpose flour or durum semolina flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- A few drops of water
Procedure
Dough
- Pour the flour and salt into a food processor.
- Beat the eggs with the oil. With the processor running, slowly pour the egg through the feed tube.
- Continue to mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball. If it doesn't form a ball, add a little water through the feed tube 1 teaspoon at a time until it does.
- Remove the dough from the food processor and knead for 10 minutes on a floured work surface. If the dough is too sticky, work in a little extra flour.
- Wrap the dough in some cling wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the fridge and knead it some more until it has warmed to room temperature.
'''Storing'''
- Hang the pasta over a clean broomstick handle to dry, supported on the backs of two chairs. Or place on waxed paper or clean tea towels.
- Homemade pasta may be cooked immediately or wrapped, well floured, in cling wrap and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Cook fresh pasta in 6–8 litres of water for 5–10 minutes or until al dente.
