📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preparing Your Pasta Dough
2
If you do not have a food processor, to make the dough, mix the flour and salt together. Form a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the eggs and egg yolks. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.

If you have a food processor add all the ingredients in the bowl and process until you have a rough dough.
4
On your counter, knead the dough for about ⏱️ 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, resist the temptation to add more flour right away; keep kneading for a few minutes to see if the consistency improves. Once the dough is smooth, shape it into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least two hours.
5
Rolling Out Your Pasta And Cutting To Your Desired Width
6
After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll each piece into a thin sheet, starting with the widest setting and gradually working down to the desired thickness. Lightly dust the sheets with flour or semolina to prevent sticking.
7
Once the sheets are ready, cut them into desired shapes such as fettuccine, linguine, or pappardelle. If using a pasta machine, pass the sheets through the cutter attachment for even noodles. For hand-cut pappardelle, roll the sheets into a loose cylinder and slice to the desired width. Lay the cut pasta on a floured surface or hang it to dry slightly before cooking.

Cooking Your Fresh Home Made Pasta
9
To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes until al dente.
10
Use a spider or pasta fork to lift the pasta from the water, avoiding pouring the water directly over it to prevent semolina from covering the cooked pasta. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
