Homemade Natural Pasta Dough

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour or 00 pasta flour
2 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon water
1/8 teaspoon salt

Method: 
1. On a clean dry surface create a well in the flour.
2. Crack the eggs in a small bowl first to avoid incorporating any shells.
3. To the well of flour add the eggs, oil, water and salt.
4. Using a fork slowly begin to stir the wet ingredients in the well. Slowly incorporate the flour bit by bit. It is important to maintain the well shape as the flour will keep the wet ingredients from running all over your table.
5. As you continue to stir the fork will no longer be required as the majority of the liquid has absorbed the flour, begin to knead the dough with your hands.
6. A tip while kneading is to turn the dough a quarter way with every knead. Continue to knead the dough until the texture resembles that of smooth leather, approximately 5 minutes of kneading.
7. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 25-30 minutes.

8. Cut the dough into quarters and wrap dough that is not being worked with in plastic wrap.
9. Flatten one quarter of dough and process it through the lasagna roller setting at the thickest setting (usually the highest number).
10. Continue to process the dough working from the highest (thickest) setting to the lowest (thinner) setting.
11. Once you have reached the desired thickness, you can transfer the pasta machine handle to the desired attachment (eg. fettuccine, spaghetti etc.)  and process the pasta sheet through.
12. Place pasta on a baking tray and dust with flour to avoid sticking, cover with cloth. Repeat process with remaining pasta dough.
13. Bring pot of salted water to a boil, cook pasta until tender but with a bite- al dente (3-4 minutes).
