Directions: Important: This recipe is for regular pasta dough, which will have more flour incorporated during the shaping process. If you are preparing dough for a pasta press (for example, for macaroni or similar shapes), you will need to add extra flour now (follow the manufacturer’s instructions or add about 2-3 TBSP of flour). This will significantly extend the processing time at the following step but set you up for success in the upcoming pressing. 1. Combine Ingredients: Place all ingredients into the kitchen mixer with the hook attachment: 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour 4 large eggs 2 TBSP of Extra Virgine Olive Oil Process on medium-slow speed until all ingredients are partially combined (about 2 – 3 minutes). 2. Form the Dough: Then, increase speed to medium-high and process into a compact dough (about 5 – 6 minutes). If the dough crumbles too much, stop the mixer and knead the dough for a few minutes by hand. Then, continue processing with a mixer until a compact dough is formed. If the dough is too sticky, consider adding more flour (1 TBPS at a time). Then, process until you reach a compact dough.

Rest the Dough: Remove the dough from the mixer bowl, place it into a sealed freezer bag (try to reduce the amount of air), and let rest for 15 – 30 minutes at room temperature before the next step. Tip: If you are busy and don’t have time to wait, you can optionally skip the resting time without significant consequences. Important: Do not put into the refrigerator as the dough would start turning black. 4. Form the pasta: The next step is to form the dough into individual shapes. Read more here.
