Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 15 egg yolks
  • Pinch of table salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 cups flour

Instruction

  • Place the egg yolks in a food processor with the blade attachment, add the salt, pepper and olive oil, and pulse a few times
  • Add half of the flour and pulse until the eggs absorb it and you have a semi-thick paste
  • Add the rest of the flour and allow the blade to rotate continuously
  • When the dough is ready, you should see a ball-shaped mass of flour and eggs bouncing around the canister
  • If the dough is still too wet to the touch, add an extra tablespoon of flour
  • If it is a bit dry, add a little water as needed
  • Take the pasta out and roll/shape according to the directions of the recipe you are making
  • If you’re saving it for later, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for up to 6 days
  • (But pasta, according to my grandpa, must be consumed right away, or you should just make a risotto instead!) TIP: Remember—even though I always ask for large eggs, egg sizes vary
  • If you see that after you put in the egg yolks, your pasta is sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time
