I love homemade pasta. It is delicious and can be served with just some olive oil, garlic and basil. Pasta can be rolled by hand but I use a manual pasta maker

Steps

2 hours

1

In a bowl combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle.
2

Add eggs to flour and mix until it forms a stiff dough (I use my Kenwood mixer with dough attachment). Add a little bit of water if all flour is not absorbed.
3

Knead dough on a floured surface (again I just continue in my Kenwood) ☆Knead for 5 minutes. The dough should be smooth and elastic. The dough should bounce back when you press your finger in the middle.
4

Rest the dough at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5

Divide dough into four pieces. Roll dough with rolling pin or pasta machine until desired thickness.
6

Cut dough in the desired shape (I made Tagliatelle).
7

Cook for 5 minutes in simmer salted water or hang to dry to use later. Use within 4 days.
