Basic Pasta Dough

Ingredients

  • 400g '00' Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 Large Free-range Eggs
  • 2 Free-range Egg Yolk
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil

Directions

1. Sift together the flour and salt into a mound on a clean work surface, making a well in the top
2. Beat the eggs, yolks, olive oil and pour into the well
3. Using your fingers, draw the flour into the well and mix to form a dough. Add a little more oil if it is still too dry. If it is too wet/sticky, add a little more flour
4. Kneed for 10 minutes until smooth, then wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes before rolling flat either with a dusted rolling pin or a pasta roller

Note

Uncooked pasta dough freezes very well. Make a large batch of the dough, divide into portions required for a meal. Form into a ball and cover in flour, then wrap well in cling film or freezer bags
