Add 2 tsp (10 mL) salt and 1 tbs. (15 mL)
oil (optional) to 6 qt (5.7 L) boiling water.
Gradually add pasta and continue to cook
at a boil until pasta is "al dente" or slightly
firm to the bite. Pasta floats to the top of
the water while cooking, so stir occasionally
to keep it cooking evenly. Use a colander
to drain.
Dry Pasta — 7 minutes
Fresh Pasta — 2-5 minutes, depending
on noodle thickness.
Break eggs into a glass measuring cup.
Check to see that the eggs measure
7/8 cup (207 mL). If less than 7/8 cup
(207 mL), add water, 1 tsp (2 mL) at a
time, until measurement is reached.
Place flour and salt in Stand Mixer bowl.
Attach bowl and flat beater. Turn to Speed
2 and gradually add eggs and 1 tbs (15 mL)
water. Mix for 30 seconds. Stop the Stand
Mixer and exchange the flat beater for the
dough hook. Turn to Speed 2 and knead
for 2 minutes.
Let dough rest for 20 minutes
Remove mixture from bowl and place on
a clean surface.
Dough may appear crumbly. Hand knead
for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until dough
is smooth, pliable and holds together in
a ball.
Form walnut-sized pieces and extrude
pasta into desired shape. Separate and
dry as desired, following cooking
instructions above.
