Instructions (10 steps)

01Create a small mountain of flour and, using a spoon, begin building a hole in the middle. It should end up looking like a small volcano.
02Gradually add eggs in the volcano’s hole, and carefully incorporate eggs and flour.
03Once all ingredients have been mixed, knead the dough by pulling, stretching, and folding for about 3-5 minutes, or until it turns elastic and semi-easy to mold.
04Mold the dough into a sphere, and wrap it in plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes, or until the dough becomes more relaxed, elastic, and much easier to mold.
05Cut the dough in four pieces. Grab the first one, and keep the other wrapped, or cover them with a slightly wet towel to keep them fresh.
06Flatten the first piece, and run it through the widest setting of your pasta maker. Increase the thinness number by one level each time you run the pasta through the machine.
