step 1
To start making Pasta e Fagioli you first prepare the sagne pasta dough, so pour flour on your wooden board. Make a mound with the All-Purpose Flour (4 cups) and create a well in the center. Crack the Egg (1) into the well and start whisking it carefully using a fork.

step 2
While doing this, bring the edges of the flour into the center with the fork, and quickly continue to cover the egg all the way around. Once all flour is incorporated, add a little bit of Water (as needed), and use your hands to start kneading the dough.

Begin to mix together using both hands until the sagne dough begins to form. Keep kneading so that it starts to form together and eventually smooth out. When you’re happy with the consistency let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes covering it with a bowl.
