Preparation
Step 1
Mound flour on work surface and make a large, deep well in the center. Keep sides of well high so egg doesn't run out of the well.
Step 2
Crack eggs into the well and add salt and oil. With a fork, mix eggs, oil, and salt together; then gradually start mixing in flour. Try not to break sides of well.
Step 3
As soon as egg mixture is no longer liquid, dip your fingers in the flour and mix in the rest of the flour, until it makes a rough and sticky dough. If too dry, add a few drops of cold water. If too moist, sprinkle some flour over it.
Step 4
Press dough into a rough ball and knead for 5 minutes if using a pasta machine or for 10 minutes if rolling it out by hand. Dough should be smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Wrap dough in clear film and let rest for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 6
Using a bread machine:
Quarter the dough and flatten. Sprinkle lightly with flour.
Start at the widest setting on machine and feed the dough through.
Fold dough into thirds and feed through the machine again. Do this fold and feed 5 times.
Turn the roller setting one notch down and feed it through unfolded.
Continue until on the smallest notch.
Best flour: Farina Bianca 00 or Tipo 00 available at Italian delicatessens.
Best eggs: FRESH - the deeper the yellow of the yolks, the better the pasta.
