Instructions
 

  • Handmade Method: On a clean surface, measure out and pour the flour into a mound. Make a deep well in the center, using your clean hands. Put eggs, egg yolk, and salt into the well. Use a fork to slowly integrate the flour into the egg and then knead the dough for about 10 minutes. The dough ball should feel smooth.
  • Food Processor Method: Add flour and pulse a couple of times. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until the texture is course and crumbly. Remove the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 minutes until a smooth elastic ball forms.
  • Flatten and wrap in plastic wrap. Let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  • Roll the dough onto a floured surface with a rolling pin and either cut with a knife or use a pasta machine. Cook in boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes if using fresh. Alternatively, hang pasta or twirl into "nests" to dry for storage.
