Step 1

Sift the Type 00 Flour (2 1/3 cups) and Salt (to taste) together on clean working table.

Step 2

Shape the flour into a round bowl shape, making a well in the middle.

Step 3

Crack the Large Eggs (3) into the flour bowl and whisk with a fork.

Step 4

Slowly add in the flour and keep whisking until all flour has combined with the eggs.

Step 5

The mixture will be a bit flaky, knead it until it becomes a dough. It should not stick to your hands. If it does, add a bit more flour.

Step 6

Roughly roll the dough into 1 cm thick, and set the pasta rolling machine to the widest setting-mine is number 9. Roll the pasta dough through it. Repeat this step until the dough becomes smoother and more elastic.

Step 7

Gradually reduce the scale of the pasta machine, eg down from #9 to #7. Once your dough it getting longer, cut it down into 8 equal parts and keep rolling though the pasta machine until you reach your ideal thickness.

Step 8

Once the dough is ready, sprinkle more flour and roll through the pasta cutter. Fresh pasta normally take less time to cook, I cook mine for about 4-5 minutes.
