Equipment
- 1 Pasta Maker (we love the Atlas 150) optional
Ingredients
- 2 c unbleached all-purpose flour or semolia, 00 flour
- 2 eggs*
- 4 egg yolks*
- 2 tsp salt or to taste
Instructions
Make Dough
- On a clean surface, mound flour and make a well in the center.
- Pour whole eggs, yolks, and salt into the well, beat with a fork.
- Gradually mix in flour from the sides until a wet, sticky dough forms.
Knead
- Use a bench scraper to fold in more flour until firm.
- Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Roll
- Flour your work surface.
- Cut dough into quarters, roll one quarter into a 1/2-inch thick oblong shape.
- Pass through a pasta maker, gradually reducing thickness.
Cut
- Adjust the machine to the desired setting. Feed dough through the cutter or cut by hand.
- Divide noodles, dust with flour, and form nests on a baking sheet.
Cook
- Boil salted water, cook noodles for 1½-2 minutes.
- Drain, toss with sauce, and serve.
Notes
Great with a Quick Tomato Sauce or in Chicken Noodle Soup!
