Google's Homemade Pasta

Recipe created by Google's SFO chef for pastas.

Ingredients

• 300g flour
• 185g whole eggs + water (about 3 eggs)
• ½ tsp salt

Directions

1. Add all ingredients into the mixing bowl using the dough hook (kitchen aid), mix slowly and speed up gradually as the egg gets mixed in with the flour. If flour is too crumbly add a teaspoon of water at a time until dough is formed and slightly tacky.
2. Allow dough hook to continue to knead the dough for 5 minutes on high.
3. Lightly flour your work surface and remove dough from the bowl and place on the floured surface, knead dough for a little until texture is not sticky (add flour as needed) and work into a ball. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. Prepare your sauce/sides for pasta.
5. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin until it is thin enough to pass through the largest setting of the pasta roller attachment.
6. Cut your dough into manageable pieces and lightly dust sheets with flour each time you pass it through the roller, and each time setting the roller to a smaller setting.
7. Keep passing it through the roller until desired thickness is reached.

For pappardelle pasta:

1. Fold the sheet of dough in half, then half again, and again in the same direction until you have a short enough length to cut with a chef's knife.
2. Cut about ½" to ¾" thick strips, toss with a little more flour to keep it from sticking.
3. Boil water in a pot, and drop pasta in until al dente (about 2 minutes) and remove carefully. Toss with your desired sauce.
