Fresh Pappardelle


Ingredients: 
3 cups of flour 
4 eggs 
1/2 tablespoon salt 
1 tablespoon of oil 

Semolina for dusting 

Directions: 
1. Add your flour, eggs, salt and oil to a large bowl. 

2. Mix with a fork until all the flour is wet and everything is mixed. 

3. Use your hands and begin to form a ball. 

4. Take the dough and move it to the counter. It will be tough, but knead through it. It may seem too dry but it isn't. Just keep working it. Two people taking turns will help if you get tired.
 



5. When you have a nice smooth yellow ball, wrap it with Saran Wrap and place into refrigerator for 30 minutes. 

6.  If you are using a hand rolling machine or the kitchen aid attachment, the same process can be used. Cut an inch thick peice of the ball and flatten it out. Roll it through the lowest setting of either the hand machine or the attachment. After rolling it through once, fold it on itself and repeat. Repeat as many times as it needs until it looks smooth, firm, and uniform.


7. Increase the number on the knob and send it through once each each time until you reach level 5. 


8.  On a floured surface, lay out the sheet. Cut large rectangles for the pappardelle. Dust with semolina flour and hang to dry. 



9. When ready to cook, boil a large pot with salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes. 


Toss with a little olive oil. Serve and enjoy!
