Basic Pasta Dough

Directions

Mix the flour, eggs, and water, kneading into a firm dough. You may also use a food processor or stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.

Continue kneading until dough pulls free off hands and pasta board.

Cut into 2 or 3 roughly equal-sized portions, and again knead until smooth and elastic.

Let the fresh pasta dough rest for 20 to 30 minutes, covered with a towel. Once rested, roll out on a floured pastry board, roll out.

Cut fresh pasta noodles with a knife, or roll with the palm of your hand into a long thin “string."

If you have a pasta cutter, roll and cut as desired.
