Homemade Pasta
2 Cups 00 Flour + 1 1/2 Cups Flour + More for dusting (can use regular flour if don't have 00)
4 Large Eggs + 1 Egg Yolk
1 Tbsp Salt
1 Tbsp EVOO
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
Water
Pour the flour on the counter in a mountain formation. With a fork, burrow a hole in the center forming a well. In a bowl mix the eggs, salt, evoo & garlic powder.
Pour the egg mixture into the well. Slowly, with a fork, stir the egg mixture together gradually combining the flour from the sides. Use a bench scrape if necessary to pull the dough off the counter to combine. Dough will be dry and crumbly. Wet your hands and start to combine dough into a ball. May have to add water 1 tbsp at a time until dough forms a combined smooth dough. Probably kneed for about 10 minutes.
Flatten dough to about a 1" disc, wrap in plastic wrap and set on counter for about 20 minutes.
Unwrap dough and cut into 4 quarters. Roll each quarter out with a rolling pin to about 1/2". Place in your pasta rolling machine on the largest setting and continue down until the lowest setting. Then place in whatever setting you want: Spaghetti, Flat, etc. Dust with flour.
Fresh pasta cooks in about 3 minutes in salted boiling water.
Enjoy. Ultimate pastabilities with this recipe.
