This recipe is great for making your own pasta for use in any number of recipes.

Ingredients

250g flour (type 'oo')
2 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 dessertspoon olive oil
salt - optional
semolina for dusting
olive oil for dressing

Equipment

food processor
- spatula
- flour dredger
- pasta machine
- metal tray
- knife
- chopping board
- pan
- colander

How to make it

1. Place the flour, eggs and egg yolks in the food processor and blend for 1 minute. Add the olive oil and salt if using, and blend until a crumb consistency is formed. Tip the mixture onto the work surface.

2. Gently knead to bring the dough together. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes. When the mixture has rested, cut it into 2 pieces.

3. Dust with flour. Press each piece out by hand and feed it into the pasta machine. Roll to the required thickness.

4. If making tagliatelle put the rolled pasta through the cutting wheels. Dust it with semolina and place on a tray until required.
