Categories     Pasta     Dinner

Yield Serves about 4-6 People

Number Of Ingredients 3

1000 grams fine flour(3 2/3 cups)
10 Large Eggs
10 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Steps:

  • Make a volcano with the flour. Mix eggs and olive oil in the center of the volcano. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the egg mixture. Mix until most of the flour is moistened. Form a ball with the dough and knead for approx. 5 - 7 minutes. Dough should be firm. Cover with a moist towel while rolling out dough with your pasta maker. If the dough is too dry, add a small amount of olive oil and knead again. Use plenty of flour when rolling pasta. Add olive oil to boiling, salted water or pasta will stick together. Cook pasta until it floats (3-5 minutes). Dough can be made one day ahead, but not rolled. This pasta holds sauces much better than dried! It cooks quickly and is much less filling than dry pasta.
