Making Basic Egg Pasta with Video Instructions

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
3 large eggs

Instructions:

In a stand mixer with a flat beater attached add flour and salt.
Set the mixer to stir and mix briefly.
Add eggs and mix until the dough forms into a ball.
Remove the dough and wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes before working with it.
When the dough has properly rested cut it into 4 equal pieces and flatten each piece slightly.
Attach the pasta roller to your standing mixer start to work your dough through one piece at a time.
While running the dough through, fold it into thirds to make the edges even.
Repeat this fold and run through the roller processes 3 to 4 more times.
Run the dough through without folding once, this will help make the dough more consistent and elastic.
Run the dough through each level ñfrom 1 to 9. This will give the dough a toothsome texture.
Once the dough is thoroughly worked and flattened out you can attach your desired pasta cutting tool.
Set to speed 4 and run the sheet of dough through the cutter.
Lay the cut pasta down and sprinkle with flour giving it a little toss to coat.
