Home Made Fresh Pasta

Not a lot to say about this delicious home made fresh pasta, once you make it, it will be hard to go back to the packaged dry supermarket pasta.

You will need good Italian "00" pasta 500g (plus about another 150g for dusting). Ten eggs at room temperature - 4 whole and 6 egg yolk only. One teaspoon of salt.

Combine all ingredients and knead it well for 5-10 minutes.

You will need a pasta maker to roll your pasta sheets.

Divide the dough to 6 equal portions, and wrap them individually in clean foil and put them into the fridge. After about 20 minutes take them out, and individually put them through the pasta maker using the thickest setting first, then move backwards to the desired thickness. Use your flour to dust the pasta sheets to prevent being sticky.

Once you cut them to the desired shape ( i used fettuccine) cook the paste in a salty boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and cool with running cold water.

Serve with your favorite pasta sauce, I prefer fresh home made Napolitana and parmesan cheese.
