Equipment

  • Pasta machine
  • standing mixer

Ingredients

  • 200 g flour
  • 2   large eggs

Instructions

  • Put it all into a mixer and let it mix for a good 10 minutes. It's usually a good idea to start the timer, then you will be sure to give the dough the time it needs for the gluten to develop.
  • Next, slip the dough into a plastic bag and let it set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Next, slip the dough into a plastic bag and let it set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. 
  • Divide the dough into three pieces and leave two of them in the closed plastic bag.
  • Get your pasta machine and start rolling on the largest spacing, usually defined by number 1.
  • Fold the pasta a couple of times and run it through the first large spacing until your first sheet has the same width as the machine.
  • Decrees the spacing and keep adding flour on the pasta in between each increment. I usually skip two numbers at the time when I'm decreasing the spacing. 
  • Stop when you get a sheet that is thin enough for the dish you are making.
  • Your pasta is ready!
