  • Yield

    Makes about 3/4 pound

Ingredients

2 cups "00" (soft wheat) flour* or cake flour (not self-rising) plus additional for kneading
2 1/2 large eggs

*available at specialty foods shops and by mail order from Dean & DeLuca,

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor blend all ingredients except water with a pinch salt until mixture begins to form a ball. If mixture is too dry, add enough water, a little at a time, to form a stiff dough.

    On a lightly floured surface knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Pasta dough may be made 2 hours ahead and chilled, wrapped well in plastic wrap.
