Ingredients

  • large eggs 
  • 0.1 teaspoon sea salt fine
  • 1.3 cups flour soft

Equipment

  • food processor
  • knife
  • plastic wrap
  • measuring cup
  • pasta machine

Directions

  1. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
  2. Combine flour, salt, and eggs in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until mixture is crumbly (dough will not form a ball). Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (about 4 minutes). Shape dough into a disc; wrap with plastic wrap.
  3. Let dough stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  4. Unwrap dough. Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Working with 1 portion at a time (keep remaining dough covered to prevent drying), pass dough through pasta rollers of a pasta machine on the widest setting. Fold dough in half crosswise; fold in half again. Pass dough through rollers again. Move width gauge to next setting; pass pasta through rollers. Continue moving width gauge to narrower settings; pass dough through rollers once at each setting to form 8 (15 x 3inch) pasta strips.
  5. Lay strips flat on a lightly floured surface; cover. Repeat procedure with remaining dough portions.
