BASIC EGG PASTA DOUGH Recipe

  Italian Pasta

Ingredients:
4 large eggs (7/8 cup)
1 tablespoon water
3-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions:
If you are using any kind of mixer, processor, pasta machines or rollers to make you dough, please read the instructions. Most have their own recipe which might vary from this and they are very specific in ingredients and amounts. For example, the dough that I can use with my pasta roller may not be used with a pasta extruder. This is the recipe called for by my Kitchenaid mixer and roller attachment. It is very good and easy to work with.

Place all ingredients in bowl of heavy-duty mixer. Using a flat beater, mix on Speed 2 (low speed) for 30 seconds. Change to a dough hook. Turn to Speed 2 and knead for 2 minutes. Remove dough from bowl and knead with hands for another 2 minutes. Divide dough into 8 pieces and let rest for about 20 minutes. Proceed to roll according to pasta roller directions.
