I was excited to share my family pasta recipe that I didn't read what I had done until after I did it.
Hopefully this is better.
3 c flour 4 eggs 1 t salt 1-1/2 T olive oil 1 T lukwarm water
I mix these ingredients in my food processor until it looks like small b-b's.
Wrap dough in a damp cloth and let sit for 1/2 hour.
(If you do not have a pasta machine, they are well worth it. I have a Marcota Atlas 150. You can get them through a trading post/supply store. Very reasonably priced.)
Rolling Dough out through a :
Pasta machine: run through large setting fold in thirds and run 3 - 4 more times then start to decrease your setting to the desired thickness -- we like them a little thicker just so they don't fall apart from being so thin. My grandmother would roll her dough up and hand slice at angles for her chicken noodle soup.
By hand: roll your dough out, fold and then roll again. Do this three more times or until your hands get tired. Roll and cut at an angle or slice long and slender. Cook in boiling salted water immediatly or dry and freeze in zip lock bags for later. To dry set two chairs a part and put a dowel rod between to hang pasta on. Let me know how it goes and if you want to attempt my favorite spinach pasta!
