Fresh egg pasta dough
It is easier than it seems.
The rule is 1 egg/100gr flour 00 (it is a
very fine,
wheat flour but if you do not find it choose flour for pasta) plus a pinch of salt
and few drops of water just to moisten your hands and work the pasta dough.
(x35 Ravioli)
2 eggs
200gr flour 00
Pinch of salt
Water
Make the dough:
Put the flour in a bowl, make a hole in the
centre and add the eggs and a pinch of salt and start mixing with a fork.
Work it until you can handle it and knead it for
2 minutes; it should be quite stiff and hard to knead. Moisten you hands if
necessary. Knead it until the dough feel smooth and silky and form into a ball shape. Wrap in cling
film and leave to rest in a cool place for 30 minutes before use.
Now you are
ready to roll your pasta do not worry if you don’t have a pasta machine you can
do it with a rolling pin maybe dividing the pasta dough in smaller portions.
So you can
now fill it to make Ravioli or cut it in stripes to make Fettuccine (coming soon).
Enjoy
