Step 1

Mix All-Purpose Flour (1 cup) and Salt (1 tsp) and form a little mound. Make a hole in the center of mound to form a well.

Step 2

Add an Egg (1) to center of flour mound. Beat egg until thickened. Slowly incorporate surrounding flour by adding a little at a time, mixing it in with each addition.

Step 3

As the dough begins to mix and form, fold the dough over toward you, then push it with the heel of your hand away from you. Repeat this 10-12 times until the dough starts to get firm. Continue until all flour is incorporated into the egg and dough is completely formed.

Step 4

Next, wrap it in saran wrap and let it rest for thirty minutes, then take your dough out of Saran Wrap. Flatten the dough with your hands so it is 1-inch thick and sprinkle with a little flour on both sides.

Step 5

Run the dough through a floured pasta machine, with the flat rollers set to the most open setting. Roll it back through the pasta maker again. If the dough sticks, coat with a little more flour. Fold and roll the dough three more times, adjusting the machine to make the pasta thin.

Step 6

Attach desired shape and size of pasta roller and feed dough through. You have made your pasta! Just allow the pasta to dry before storing.

Step 7

If cooking right away, boil a pot of salted water and drop the pasta in. Fresh pasta will cook much faster than dry pasta, 2-4 minutes depending on thickness. Serve with your favorite sauce.
