Homemade Pasta

1 ½ cup semolina flour
1 cup unbleached white flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
½ tsp salt
4 eggs
¼ cup water
1 tbsp olive oil

Combine flour and salt in (mixer) bowl. In small bowl beat eggs slightly; add water and oil to eggs. Pour mixture into flour and mix until stiff dough forms (or by hand with wooden spoon). Add flour or water, a tiny bit at a time, as needed. Knead 10 minutes (in mixer, or on flat surface by hand), until dough is smooth and elastic. Wrap dough ball tightly in plastic, let rest 20-60 minutes. Roll into thin sheets (using machine or rolling pin). Cut into desired shapes.

To cook: Add to boiling, salted water. Boil for 3-5 minutes.

This is a simple, basic recipe for homemade pasta. I've used it the most often. It can be cut or shaped any way you like. I have a pasta machine with two different cutting heads: fettuccine and tagliatelle (flat spaghetti). I’ve also rolled it thin and used small cookie cutters to make animal shapes (fun!).
