Homemade pasta dough

Ingredients

• 280gTipo 00 flour (or all-purpose as a substitute)
• 4Egg yolks
• 2Whole eggs

Steps

1. 1

   Make a well with the flour. Add the yolks and whole eggs in the center.

2. 2

   Gradually incorporate the flour from the edges using a fork.

3. 3

   Knead by hand for 8–10 min until you have a smooth, elastic, non-sticky dough. Add a few drops of water if too dry.

4. 4

   Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 24h — longer means better texture).

5. 5

   Divide into 4 portions. Roll through a pasta machine (setting 1 → 5 or 6) or very thinly by hand.

6. 6

   Cut into tagliatelle, fettuccine, or use for lasagna, ravioli, etc.
