Home Made Lasagna Noodles

Ingredients

2C                 King Arthur Pizza/Pasta flour

2ea               Eggs, slightly beaten

1t                  Olive oil 

3/4t               Salt

2-4T              Warm water

Process

Mound the flour in a large bowl or on a cutting board

Make a well in the center and add the eggs, olive oil, salt, and 2T of water (we may or may not add the rest of the water later)

Using a fork, combine all of the ingredients until the dough can be formed into a ball

If the mixture is too dry to hold together, gradually add more water

Cut the pasta ball into thirds so you don’t have to handle all at once

Flatten the pasta to about 1/2in thick with your hands on a surface that is dusted with flour

In a pasta machine {I use the Kitchenaid attachment|}

Set the pasta machine at 1

Take one of your 3 pasta balls

Fold one third from one end and then one third from the other end to form a ball 3 layers thick

Feed through the machine. If the pasta is too sticky, dust with flour. If it is too thick to go through the machine flatten it a little bit with your hands and try again

Feed through the machine one more time

Switch the setting to 2 and feed through the machine

Switch to 3 and feed through again

Switch to 4 for the final pass

Lay the sheet out on a floured surface while you repeat this process with the other pieces of dough

Roll out to setting 4 on the pasta machine (I use a Kitchenaid with attachment)

Cut the pasta into sheets the size that you want to fit your pan

Let the pasta dry for at least one hour
