By ChefGrizzly

This recipe does not include a full description of how to make pasta. It is here mostly to help with ingredient proportions! For more info on homemade pasta, see "Wolfgang Puck Makes It Easy" or other source online or in a cookbook!

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 8 large egg yolks
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 2-3 Tbsp. water (more as needed)
• Semolina or all-purpose flour for dusting

Preparation

Step 1

1) In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, combine the flour, egg yolks, salt, olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of the water. Process and pinch the dough to test it. If it's too dry, add up to 1 more tablespoon of water and process until it forms a moist ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

2) To roll out the dough using a past roller, cut the dough into four equal pieces. Keep the other pieces covered in plastic while you roll out one piece at a time. Set the rollers at the widest setting. Flatter first piece of dough... roll through, tightening setting as you go... (for more details, search homemade pasta).
