Equipment
- Work surface
- Fork
- Rolling Pin
- Cooking pot
Ingredients
- 14 oz flour type 00 or all purpose flour
- 2 eggs medium
- Salt for cooking water
Instructions
- Place all of the flour on a clean work surface and form a volcano shaped mound with a hole/well in the middle where to break the eggs into.
- Crack the eggs in the middle of the flour mound and start whipping the eggs with a fork in a circular motion by gradually adding more flour from the edges. Repeat this until the dough gets too thick for the fork to function. Once you’re at that stage, scrape off any excess dough from the work surface and add it to your dough and add a bit of flour on top of the dough so it wouldn’t stick to your hands while kneading it on the next step.
- Clean your hands and the work surface, sprinkle it lightly with flour and start kneading the dough for ~10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Knead the dough with one palm of your hand by folding the dough in half, then pressing on the dough, turning the dough 90 degrees and folding it again. If the dough gets too hard, you can use some water to make it softer to continue kneading. Repeat the process until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a round shape and wrap it in plastic foil for ~15 minutes or up to ~two hours until you’re ready to cut and boil it.
- Start rolling the pasta dough on a lightly floured work surface until it’s ~1/16 inch / 2mm thick and formed into a long and narrow strip of dough.
- Cut the Tagliatelle shapes by cutting the dough from top to bottom into ⅜ inch / 1 cm wide strips of dough.
- Boil the pasta cooking water, add plenty of salt to the water and boil the pasta for 5-7 minutes until al dente. Stir the pasta from time to time so it wouldn’t stick to each other.
- Rinse the water and serve it by itself or with any of your favorite pasta sauce.
