Equipment

  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Stand Mixer KitchenAids are perfect for this
  • 1 Paddle attachment For the mixer
  • 1 Pasta rolling attachment For the mixer
  • 1 Pasta Cutter For the mixer (OR pasta cutting tool)
  • 1 Drying rack (or laundry drying rack like we use! LOL)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups All purpose flour Sifted
  • Egg yolks Beaten
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Sea salt, Kosher or Pink salt is best

Instructions
 

  • With your stand mixer, mix flour, salt, eggs and 2 tablespoons of water together on speed setting 2 for 30 seconds using the flat mixing attachment
  • Replace the flat mixer with the dough hook and knead the dough for a few minutes on speed setting 2. Add a tablespoon of water or more (1 tbsp at a time) if dough looks too dry.
  • Take dough out of bowl and place on flat, floured surface. Knead by hand for five to ten minutes and create a ball of dough. Dough is ready when it bounces back well when you poke your finger into it.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes of resting, cut/divine dough ball into 4 quarters. You'll start by working with one quarter of dough, so cover the other 3 with the plastic wrap again.
  • Insert pasta roller attachment onto the front of your stand mixer.
  • Roll out the quarter piece of dough with a rolling pin on a flat, floured surface until it's about 1/2" thick
  • Set the pasta roller at 1 and the mixer on speed 2.
  • Carefully feed the flattened dough through your pasta roller attachment to flatten it even more.
  • After the first feed-through, fold the dough in half and then half again and feed it through a few more times, starting on setting 2 then going each speed all the way up to setting 5, until you have a very thin sheet of pasta dough. NOTE: you can cut the dough horizontally to prevent from having way too long of pasta in the end.
  • Next, replace your pasta roller with pasta cutter.
  • Put the mixer on speed 2 and feed your first flattened dough sheet through the pasta cutting wand. We actually used two people (4 hands) for this step.
  • Then drape over a drying rack and let dry for about 10 minutes.
  • Cook in salted, boiling water for about 4 minutes. Serve with favorite protein and sauce.
