Fresh Pasta

Ingredients (For 1 portion)
• 1 Large Egg
• 100g Plain Flour/Type 00 Flour, or 25g Semolina Durum Wheat Flour and 75g of Plain/Type 00 Flour

Method
1. In a bowl, and using a fork, mix the egg and flour until it starts to combine
2. Transfer all of the mixture and the 'excess' flour onto work surface and start kneading dough until well combined
3. Once combined, form dough into ball and let rest in fridge for 1 hour
4. Then, transfer rested dough onto lightly floured work surface, and divide according to number of portions
5. Start rolling out a portion of dough, and when you reach a plateau; hold the bottom end of the dough, and roll out using rolling pin in the other hand (make sure to flour pasta every so often to avoid it sticking to the work surface)
6. To check if dough is thin enough, blow just below it. If it 'dances', its ready :)
7. To make Tagliatelle, dust with flour and fold the pasta sheet onto itself about 3-4 times, and cut strips 0.5 cm wide.
8. To cook, in a pan full of boiling water, a bit of salt, and a drizzle of oil, and then carefully add your pasta. Cook for 4-5 mins
