Ingredients
(For 4 people)
- 3 cups flour
- 5 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- About 4 Tbsp water
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs with salt and olive oil.
- Add the flour, knead well using the hook attachment. Add water 1 Tbsp at a time until dough comes together.
- Place in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, flour your pasta machine and start making noodles. Start by using the largest setting (the biggest size). Use it a couple of times folding the dough several times if necessary until it becomes smooth. Then, go down one size at a time passing the dough through the machine once for every size. Repeat until the desired thickness. Then, use the setting of your choice to make fettuccine or spaghetti...
- Put the noodles aside on a floured surface.
- Boil water in a large pot and add some salt. Cook the noodles a handful at a time for about 2 minutes.
- Once, cooked, drain and transfer the noodles to a dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Enjoy with tomato sauce, cheese sauce, pesto, beef bourguignon, daube Niçoise...
