Steps:
- In a medium sized bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the flour, add the slightly beaten egg, and mix. Mixture should form a stiff dough. If needed, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 3 to 4 minutes. With a pasta machine or by hand roll dough out to desired thinness. Use machine or knife to cut into strips of desired width.

HOW TO MAKE HANDMADE PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY
Making fresh, homemade pasta dough doesn't have to be tedious! All you need is some flour, eggs, and a tiny bit of arm strength as you knead it all together - no food processor or fancy stand-mixer required. And once your noodles are ready, all it takes is 2-3 minutes of cooking before you can add your sauce, sprinkle your cheese, and open that wine.

Steps:
- On a clean, sturdy work surface, turn out your chosen flour(s) and salt and make a large well in the middle with your hands.
- Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and olive oil together in a medium bowl until combined, then pour the mixture into the well.
- Using the same fork, whisk the eggs, slowly incorporating more and more flour into the eggs by moving your fork along the edges of the well.
- Once almost all of the flour is incorporated, start bringing the dough together with your hands. (The dough should be malleable, but not sticky--add more flour if the dough is sticking too much to your hands or the surface. Alternatively, if it's too dry and tough, whisk another egg with 1 tablespoon of water and use your hand to sprinkle some of the mixture over the dough, continuing to do so until the dough is easier to knead.)
- Knead the dough for 7-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. When you poke the dough, it should spring back.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour, or until the dough does not spring back when poked.
- Unwrap the dough and cut into 8 equal pieces so that it's easier to work with. Take 1 piece and wrap the rest in the plastic wrap so that they don't dry out.
- Lightly flour your work surface, and begin rolling out the piece of dough into one long piece. Then, fold the top third down, and the bottom third over that, like a letter. Rotate the dough 90˚ and roll the piece back into a long shape. This helps form a more even rectangular shape and makes the dough a little bit easier to work with.
- Continue rolling out the dough until it is very thin. When you lift the dough, you should be able to see your hands through it.
- Fold the top and bottom of the rectangle to meet in the middle, then fold over again--this will make the dough easier to cut. Cut the dough to your ideal shape. Loosen or unravel the cut dough immediately, so it doesn't stick, sprinkle with a bit of extra flour, or semolina, if using. Let the pasta sit out for about 30 minutes to dry out slightly.
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and stir to ensure it doesn't clump. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or 30 seconds to 1 minute after the pasta comes to the surface (fresh pasta will cook much faster than dried pasta!)
- Take out a noodle and taste for doneness. Once cooked to your liking, remove the pasta from the water, being sure to save at least 1 cup (240 ML) of the pasta cooking water.
- Add the cooked pasta into your preferred sauce and stir to coat, adding some of the reserved pasta water if needed to add a bit of body and silkiness to the sauce.
- Enjoy!

HOW TO MAKE PASTA - THE INGREDIENTS & INSTRUCTIONS
From thespruceeats.com
Author Brett Moore
- What You Need. Making your own pasta from scratch is very satisfying and surprisingly easy. It will certainly impress your family and dinner guests, and although time-consuming, making it means that you will have trouble going back to store-bought dry pasta.
- Mix the Ingredients. Using a fork, gently incorporate the flour into the egg mixture a little at a time. Once you have incorporated all of the flour together with the egg using a fork, switch to a bench knife or bench scraper if you have one, or use your fingertips to really blend the mixture together.
- Form a Dough Ball. After the wet and dry ingredients have been well combined using the dough knife, bring the mixture together with your hands to form a ball.
- Knead the Dough. Once you have a dough that is easy to handle, doesn't stick to your hands, and keeps its shape when formed into a ball, knead the pasta dough as you would with bread dough.
- Form Into Balls. Using the bench knife, cut the dough into 3 equal sections. Alternatively, you can weigh your dough and divide it into 3 equals parts.
- Roll the Pasta. A pasta machine is best for rolling and cutting the dough. Although expensive, these machines cut the rolling and cutting time in a third, and are convenient because they give you many options depending on your preferences.
- Roll the Dough Again. After the dough has completely passed through the pasta machine, turn the slot down to the next smallest setting and pass the dough through the slot.
- Cut the Dough Into Pasta. Most pasta machines come with an adapter that cuts the dough. You may wish to cut your dough in half to make it easier to handle.
- Dry the Pasta. Immediately after cutting the dough, hang the pasta on a dowel or other object like a clean clothes drying rack. Alternatively, lay the pasta flat on a towel, and use some semolina to keep it separate.
- Using a Rolling Pin. If you're using a rolling pin: Flatten one of the dough balls and start using the rolling pin to shape it into a long rectangle. Use your arm strength to press firmly while pushing away from you with the rolling pin.

- Combine the Flour and Salt: Whisk together the flour and salt with a fork in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the Eggs: Create a deep well in the middle of the flour and crack the eggs into this well. Whisk the eggs with the fork to combine. Note: You can do this on the counter-top "Italian Grandmother Style" if you prefer, but I find it's easier and less messy to do it in a bowl.
- Begin Combining the Flour and Eggs: As you whisk the eggs, begin gradually pulling in flour from the bottom and sides of the bowl. Don't rush this step.
- Knead the Pasta Dough: Turn the dough and any excess flour out onto a clean counter. Begin gently folding the dough on itself, flattening, and folding again.
- Rest the Pasta Dough: Clean and dry the mixing bowl. Place the ball of dough inside and cover with a dinner plate or plastic wrap. Rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the Pasta Dough: Sprinkle a baking sheet generously with flour and scrape the ball of dough on top (it will stick to the bowl; use a spatula or bowl scraper if necessary).
- Begin Rolling Out the Pasta: Set your pasta machine to the thickest setting (usually marked "1"). Flatten one piece of dough into a thick disk between your hands and feed it through the pasta roller.
- Thin the Pasta: Begin changing the settings on your roller to roll the pasta thinner and thinner. Roll the pasta two or three times at each setting, and don't skip settings (the pasta tends to snag and warp if you do).
- Cut the Pasta: Cut the long stretch of dough into noodle-length sheets, usually about 12-inches. If making filled pasta or lasagna, proceed with shaping.
- Cooking, Drying, or Freezing the Pasta: To cook the pasta immediately, bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt the water, and cook the pasta until al dente, 4-5 minutes.
