Flour Well

- Crack 3 eggs in the center
- Add a pinch of salt and tsp of olive oil
Whisk Eggs
Whisk the eggs with a fork. Gradually incorporate the flour.
Whisk Until It Is All Incorporated.
Knead the Dough With Your Hands and Form Into a Ball
Let it rest for a few minutes.
Flatten With a Rolling Pin
Pasta Roller
Roll the pasta dough through the pasta roller on the highest number.
Almost There!
Gradually reduce the number as you roll (fold the pasta sheet over a couple times in the process)
Cutting Dough Into Pasta
Once you’ve rolled it through the lowest number, cut it with the linguine option.
Don't Clump Them Together!
Keep strands separated on a type of rack so the pasta doesn’t clump together.
Cooking the Pasta
Boil in salty water until the linguine floats to the top.
- Add sauce of your choosing.
- Garnish with fresh basil and fresh parmesan.
