Ingredients
- 400 g Pasta Flour tipo 00
- 4 Eggs
Instructions
- Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle of it
- Break the eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them with a fork
- Pour the eggs into the well you have made in the flour and mix, bringing in a little more flour gradually until you have brought the whole lot into a ball
- Once you have a ball of dough you need to knead it. Put the ball on a floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. If it still feels rough and floury it isn't done! It takes about 10-15 minutes but it really is worth the effort!
- One the ball of dough is smooth and elastic, wrap it in cling film (or better still a biodegradable ziplock bag - we're not keen on cling film if we can avoid it) and put in the fridge for at least half an hour
- After at least half an hour in the fridge, bring it out and roll it out to be shaped into whatever pasta you are going to use!
