Like all food, pasta tastes best when it is homemade. While the task may seem daunting to some, there are some simple pasta recipes that virtually any home cook can create. Here is one of my favorites:
Ingredients:
3 whole eggs + 2 yolks
2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of canola oil
Directions:
Beat the eggs and oil with an electric mixer, and then add the flour until the dough becomes too thick for the mixer to turn. Take the dough out of the mixer, and knead with flour until it is stiff. Divide the dough into balls about the size of an egg. Run the balls through the thickest setting of the pasta machine.
You will want to achieve a balance between keeping the noodles too wet and keeping them too dry. When the noodles are in a perfect, malleable, yet stiff state, cut them and you will have perfect homemade noodles.
