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. Cover with plastic
wrap and let rest 15 minutes.
4. Set up Pasta Machine, following "Pasta Machine Assembly"
instructions on page 4.
5. Cut the dough into 3 equal pieces, flour lightly, and cover with
plastic wrap. Working with one piece of dough at a time, while
keeping other pieces covered, shape it into a rectangle about
5 x 3 inches (12.7 x 7.6 cm). Turn the Setting Knob of the
Pasta Machine to Setting 7. Pass the pasta rectangle through
the rollers with one of the short sides first. Fold the dough in
thirds and pass the same piece of dough through the rollers,
short side first, a second time. Turn Setting Knob to Setting 6.
Follow same process with the remaining dough pieces. Flour
the dough pieces very lightly as you work—just enough to keep
them from sticking to the rollers.

6. Continue rolling the pieces of dough in the same order (so they
have a chance to rest a little between rollings), decreasing the
thickness by one setting each time, until all the pieces of dough
have been passed through the thinnest setting desired. 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 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.
7. When all the pasta has been rolled into sheets, completely
cover them with lightly floured towels and let them rest about
30 minutes before cutting.
8. Insert the Removable Fettuccine/Spaghetti Cutter Attachment.
Pass each pasta sheet through the Fettuccine/Spaghetti
Attachment. Flour lightly to keep pasta from sticking.
9. Cook fresh pasta in boiling water 3 to 4 minutes.
