Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 cups Flour
  • 6 pieces Eggs

Instruction

  • Measure flour and eggs. We can make pasta kneading by hand but if we have an electric tool to help us in this tiresome task, all the better.
  • Knead the dough until it comes together. If we have a hard time kneading with eggs, only add a bit of water by the tablespoon to soften up the dough.
  • Divide the dough if it is a big batch then roll it out on a slightly floured surface.
  • When the dough starts to stick to the rolling pin, apply a thin layer of flour onto both sides.
  • Roll the dough until the pattern of the rolling board becomes visible through the pasta.
  • Prepare to cut the pasta into the desired shape. Apply a thin layer of flour onto both sides of the pasta again.
  • Roll it up.
  • With a sharp knife, slice the rolled up pasta.
  • Open the pasta rolls and put them in a place where they don’t stick together. We can get a special pasta hanger, simply lightly flour some unused working surface or find any other ingenious solution. Use the pasta up immediately or let it dry in a dark and dry, possibly airy cool place. Dried pasta could be stored in a dry cool place up to one year. If grey or any other colored spots start to appear, discard the pasta and find a less humid place for it next time.
