Ingredients
- 300 grams '00' flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Weigh your flour and place on a bench in a mound. Make a well in the middle and crack the eggs into it.
- With your fingers, swirl the eggs to lightly beat them, incorporating the flour little by little.
- When it is getting thicker, add the water and keep trying to incorporate the flour.
- Bring it into a rough ball with your hands and start kneading.
- Knead for about 10 minutes until you have a smooth ball.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 30 - 60 mins.
- Cut your dough ball into six pieces.
- Take one piece and keep the rest under plastic wrap.
- Flatten it out with your hand and then roll through your pasta machine on the widest setting.
- Fold it in half and roll it through again. If it is really sticky, dust with some semolina.
- Roll through the machine, lowering the number each time until you get to number 5.
- Fold the end over to make it 30cm (12 inches) long.
- Cut into 2.5cm (1 inch) strips.
- Cut the long strip into two equal pieces.
- Place the strips on a plate or baking sheet lined with baking paper and dusted with semolina. I like to fold them into little nests.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Boil in salted water for 3 - 4 minutes and serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe will serve 4 - 5 people.
- Feel free to use all purpose flour if you don't have 00 flour.
- If you don't have 00 or all purpose, you could use semolina flour to make a rustic pappardelle, it will have a slightly rougher texture.
- If you don't have a pasta machine you could roll it out with a rolling pin but it will be hard work!
