HOMEMADE PASTA

Basic Pasta Dough

Cake flour keeps the dough supple so it’s easy to work with. If you don’t have cake flour, use all-purpose.

Makes about 1 1/4 lb. (10 servings) Total time: 1 hour

2¹/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cake flour
1 tsp. table salt
5 eggs
1 Tbsp. olive oil

Pulse all-purpose flour, cake flour, and salt in a food processor until combined.

Whisk together eggs and oil in a measuring cup with a pour spout. With machine running, add egg mixture to flour until dough forms a ball around the blade. Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth. Divide dough into four portions, wrap each in plastic, and let rest at least 15 minutes before kneading with the pasta maker.
