Ingredients
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 ½ Cups Plain Flour or All-Purpose Flour
- 1 ½ Cups Wholemeal Flour or Whole Wheat Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 1 TBSP Olive Oil
- 3 TBSP Water
Instructions
- Add the flours and the salt to a mixing bowl or onto a clean, flat surface.
- Create a well in the centre of the mixture.
- Crack the eggs into the well.
- Add the olive oil and water to the well.
- With a fork, mix the eggs mixture, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides as you go. Keep mixing gently to avoid breaking the well.
- As you mix, the flour will thicken the egg mixture and form a shaggy dough. Initially, the dough may seem dry and crumbly, though it should become smooth later.
- Remove the dough from the bowl, if using, and place on a floured surface. Fold the mixture together until a smooth ball forms. You may find a bench scraper will help with this.
- Knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 10 to 15 minutes. If the dough feels sticky, add 1 TBSP plain flour at a time during kneading.
- Shape the dough into a ball and wrap tightly in cling wrap.
- Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, though it can be left for up to 3 hours. Alternatively, the dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Just bring to room temperature before rolling.
- Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and dived the dough into 8 equal pieces. Loosely cover 7 pieces with cling wrap, while you a using the 8th piece of dough.
- Using one piece at a time, roll it out in a rectangle shape around ¼ inch thick and sprinkle with flour.
- Fold the rolled out pasta into 1 inch to 3 inch folds, dusting each fold with flour.
- Then cut each sheet into ⅛ sections.
- Once cut, unravel each section of your noodles.
- If you are freezing the pasta before cooking, now it the time to do that. If not, it's time to cook the pasta.
- Boil a large pot of salted water and drop the pasta into it.
- Stir occasionally until the pasta is tender and floats to the top. This could take anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes, depending on the shape and size of the pasta.
