BASIC PASTA RECIPE To make 500g ( llb) pasta dough
500g (llb) flour 5 or 6 eggs
salt
olive oil
Use a flour which is rich in gluten for added elasticity: strong flour for bread-making is a good choice because it requires less kneading and rolling than durum.
Heap up more flour than you need on a smooth surface. Make a well in the centre of the flour and break the eggs into it. Add a generous pinch of salt and the olive oil. With one hand. gradually push the flour from the edge ofthe well into the egg mixture, using your other hand to support the well's perimeter and stop the mixture flowing out. Continue to incorporate the flour until the batter has become a paste. Knead the dough for 5—10 minutes by pressing the dough flat on a lightly floured surface. folding it double. then pressing it again. Leave the dough covered with a cloth for 1 hour. Divide the dough into portions the size of your fist. Roll out each portion until you have a thin circle. then cut into required shapes.
