Homemade Pasta 2

Ingredients:
1 Cup Cake Flour
1/2 Cup Bread Flour (or white flour)
2 Extra Large Eggs - beaten
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Cold Water (maybe more)
3/4 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder (this is optional, and I use several spices, mushroom powder, etc. depending on what I'm using the pasta for).

Directions:
In a food processor, add the flours, eggs, olive oil, salt and spices.  Pulse to combine.  Using the feeding tube, slowly drizzle in the 2 tbsp of water while pulsing.  Should come together in a ball.  Might have to add more water if necessary.

On a very lightly floured surface, pour the dough out and start to knead the dough, about 2-3 minutes.  I use the method of pushing the dough forward with my right palm and then folding the left side over and repeat.

Form the dough into a ball and flatten out and then wrap in plastic wrap and sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes.  Take dough out and let sit on counter about 15 min. then divide dough into 4 portions.

Take the 1st portion and lightly flour it, then, with your hands, flatten it out with the end you'll be feeding into the pasta machine slightly thinner so it'll feed into the machine.

Feed the pasta into the machine on the widest setting. Run the pasta through 2 times, then flour both sides of the pasta and fold each end into the middle overlapping each other.  Run through the machine again.  Repeat this about 2x each setting while working down to the smallest setting, flouring when needed.

Once you have the pasta at the thickness you want you can either slice it by hand or run it through an attachment to cut it into specific sizes, i.e. spaghetti, fettuccini, etc.

Place cut pasta in a bowl or a plate with flour and work the flour through so as to keep the pasta separated.  Cook in salted, boiling water for 2-3 minutes and finish in sauce.

Enjoy.  #Cheftainment
