Recipe
Basic Egg Pasta
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. Place eggs and flour in bowl of Stand Mixer. Using Dough Hook
Attachment and speed 1, mix until a shaggy dough is formed.
2. Increase speed to speed 2. Knead until dough is smooth and
elastic, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove dough to a floured cutting board and cut into fist-size
pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 15 minutes.
4. Place Pasta Machine on a flat, dry, stable surface. Plug into
outlet.
5. Turn Power Switch to Slow (II).
6. Holding one of the dough pieces, pinch one end slightly flat to
help ease it into Smooth Rollers.
7. Gently push dough between Smooth Rollers, keeping fingers
clear of Smooth Rollers, until it begins to feed through. Smooth
Rollers will pull dough through the machine. Dough will emerge
from back side of Pasta Machine. Place your hand under dough
as it emerges from Smooth Rollers to guide it through the unit.
8. Repeat this process with same dough 2–3 times.

9. Once you have passed dough through Smooth Rollers 2–3
times at widest setting "1", turn off Pasta Machine. Adjust Knob
to setting "2" and pass dough through Smooth Rollers again.
Continue adjusting to higher settings and pass dough through
Smooth Rollers until the sheet is desired thickness. Do not pull
the dough sheets through the Roller as they get longer, but
rather support them lightly from underneath as they emerge
from the Smooth Rollers; pulling dough sheets will stretch
them out of shape. Keep the pieces of dough that are not being
rolled covered with plastic wrap or a slightly damp towel.
10. When dough is rolled out to the desired thickness, turn Pasta
Machine OFF ( ).
11. Completely cover the dough sheets with lightly floured towels
and let them rest about 30 minutes before cutting.
12. Determine which type of pasta you are making, spaghetti or
fettuccine. Place one Sliding Safety Guard over Smooth Rollers
and other over Cutter that will not be in use. Flour lightly to
keep pasta from sticking.
13. Cook fresh pasta in boiling water 3 to 4 minutes.
