Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Clear a clean and spacious countertop or workspace. Place your KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook attachment nearby. Have the pasta roller and cutter attachments ready. If your mixing and rolling by hand see instructions in post above.
- In your stand mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix them together. Make a well in the center. Crack the 3 large eggs into the well. Pour in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Start your KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook attatchment on the lowest setting to combine the ingredients. Allow the mixer to knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it comes together. If the dough looks too dry, you can add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until it forms a ball. If it's too sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Once the dough has come together, increase the mixer speed slightly and knead the dough for about 4-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and form it into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax and makes it easier to roll out.
- Divide the rested dough into 4 smaller portions, so it's easier to work with. Attach the pasta roller attachment to your KitchenAid mixer. Set the roller to the widest setting (usually 1).Flatten one portion of dough with your hands and feed it through the roller. Fold the dough in half and repeat the process, rolling it through several times until it becomes smooth and consistent. Gradually reduce the roller setting to your desired thickness. Switch to the pasta cutter attachment and pass the rolled dough through to create your desired pasta shape (e.g., fettuccine, spaghetti, or lasagna sheets).
- You can either cook the pasta immediately in boiling salted water for a few minutes or let it air-dry for long term storage. See instructions for drying in post above.
