Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl (as you don’t want to overcrowd your ingredients) add your flour and your eggs. If you always drop shells when you crack eggs then do this seperately and then add it to your bowl.
  • Using a fork mix your eggs into your flour. Once this has been done and your eggs are well mixed add the olive oil. This is not essential but it will give it that delicious Mediterranean flavour.
  • Follow this up by adding some cold water and mixing constantly so that you have smooth dough. The secret is to make sure it is not too dry, but not too wet. When we did our pasta dough we used just 20ml of water.
  • When you have your dough, knead it for about 5-10 minutes until it is super soft and perfect for baking with.
  • Cut up your dough into small pieces roll out, sprinkle with flour and feed through your pasta maker. If it doesn’t feed through correctly this is usually likely to not having enough flour on your dough so sprinkle with flour again and try again.
  • Make sure you have equal sizes of your pasta for cooking otherwise they will not cook as well. So if any are too big or too small, put them back through the machine.
  • Place in boiling water for 7 minutes on a medium heat. For the first 3 minutes make sure you stir it regularly as this will stop it sticking together with it being fresh rather than dried.
  • Serve with a nice sauce/vegetables.

Notes

What I love about making pasta is that as you get confident making it you can alter the recipe a little with your favourite seasonings, olive oil to water and even look at swapping plain flour for gluten free. Either way it is a wonderful way to experiment with your cooking.
Now for doing something with your pasta, we would recommend you mix it with our 3 minute alfredo sauce for the ultimate take on Mac & Cheese. Alternatively you can serve it with a nice tomato sauce and vegetables.
