This simple and rich pasta is a base recipe that can be used to form all sorts of shapes. Wrapped up, it can be stored in the freezer for up to a month. Try to look for good-quality eggs with a rich yellow yolk. 

INGREDIENTS 

• 185g Tipo 00 pasta flour 

• 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 -1 tsp water (optional) 

METHOD 

1. Place the flour in a mixing bowl, making a well in the centre of the flour. 

2. Place the eggs and extra virgin olive oil into the centre. 

3. Using a fork or chopstick, slowly incorporate the egg mixture into the flour until it begins to clump up forming lumps. 

4. Transfer the dough to the surface of your work station and knead the dough for 5-10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and tacky. 

5. Cover the dough in cling film and let it rest for 30-40 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.

6. Roll the pasta dough through a pasta roller until the 2nd thinnest setting. 

7. Or roll with a rolling pin until it is thin enough to see light clearly poking through it. 

8. Cook the pasta in boiling water that has been salted with 1 tbsp of salt per 2L. Cook the pasta for 6-7 minutes.
