Preparation

• Place flour on your working surface, make a heap with a well in the middle. Crack eggs into the well and slowly mix together with your hands. Keep mixing until a dough is formed.
• Knead for about 10 minutes until elastic and smooth. Divide dough into 2 pieces for easy handling.
• Sprinkle some flour on the surface of the dough and run this through the pasta machine roller set on widest setting.
• Turn the dial to the next narrowest setting, feed dough through the pasta machine again. Repeat until you get the thickness you desire.
  
• Let dough stand for about 10 minutes until slightly dry. Attach pasta cutter onto machine.
• Feed dough through the cutter. Lightly flour pasta to prevent sticking. Dry pasta on a rack or cook it straightaway.
• Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water. Pasta is done when it floats onto the surface of water.
