Ingredients for 4
3 organic eggs 4-5 dl durum wheat flour 1 tsp salt
Tip: a pasta machine is an invaluable aid for making fresh pasta. You can also use a spatula and a knife to make tagliatelle, for example, but the dough should be very thin.
Stir the flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the middle.
Pick up the eggs in the flour well. Begin kneading the dough by gradually folding the flour into the egg.
Knead the dough really well. It should be quite stiff in the end, add flour if necessary.
At this stage, the fresh pasta can be frozen for a few hours;although it is not as good in the heat as it is fresh.
Make a ball of pasta dough and wrap it in cling film. Leave to rise in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Finish the pasta machine and start working the pasta into the desired shape and cook it. Add flour sparingly every time you thin the pasta.
Cook in a pan of water with a generous amount of salt. Fresh pasta cooks quickly – in a few minutes.
