Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Water (if needed)
Directions
Step 1
Attach the flat beater to your KitchenAid mixer. In the bowl of the mixer, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
Step 2
Add the eggs and olive oil to the flour mixture. Turn the mixer on low speed and mix until the dough begins to come together.
Step 3
Switch to the dough hook attachment. Knead the dough in the mixer on medium speed for 8-10 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time. If it’s too sticky, add a small amount of flour.
Step 4
Remove the dough from the mixer and shape it into a ball. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20-30 minutes at room temperature. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.
Step 5
Attach the pasta roller to your KitchenAid mixer. Divide the dough into four equal portions, keeping the unused portions covered to prevent drying out.
Step 6
Flatten one portion of dough into a rectangular shape with your hands. Set the pasta roller to the widest setting (setting 1) and feed the dough through the roller. Fold the dough in half, then feed it through the roller again. Repeat this process 3-4 times, lightly flouring the dough if necessary to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Gradually reduce the roller setting (moving to settings 2 through 5) to get the desired thickness. Pass the dough through the roller once at each setting, without folding, to create a smooth, even sheet of pasta.
Step 8
Attach the desired pasta cutter (e.g., spaghetti or fettuccine) to the mixer. Feed each pasta sheet through the cutter, catching the noodles as they come out.
Step 9
Lightly dust the cut pasta with flour to prevent sticking, and place on a pasta drying rack or a floured baking sheet in small nests.
Step 10
To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes or until al dente. Drain and serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
