You’ll need
1 cup all-purpose
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Mix all the ingredients together and knead the dough for 6-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Once the dough is fully kneaded, wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for about 30 minutes before rolling.
Resting the Dough
To roll the dough, flatten it slightly and roll through the widest setting about 10 times, folding the dough in half each time you pass it through. Sprinkle the rollers and dough lightly with flour if it happens to stick.
Next, run the dough through the rollers just once on each setting without folding. Keep rolling the dough until you reach the second to last setting. How far you roll out the dough will also depend on the dish you are making, and your pasta machine. If you desire ultra-thin pasta, you may want to roll the dough right through to the last setting. Once the dough has been rolled to the desired thickness, it must be covered immediately to prevent it from drying out.
If desired, you can run the pasta through the cutters of the pasta machine to make various shapes, such as linguini or fettuccini.
