Basic Fresh Pasta Recipe This
fresh pasta recipe makes the raw material for a number of pasta dishes.
The ingredients shown below will make two portions but can easily be
scaled up.Fresh pasta will keep for several days if kept refrigerated in an airtight container, so you might like to make it in larger quantities. To make 2 servings:
Sift the flour and the salt into a mixing bowl. Add the egg and the oil and blend together with your fingers until you have formed a firm dough. If the dough is very dry, add a few drops of water, as little as possible to get the dough to form. Knead the ball of dough for a few minutes, cover it with a clean cloth and let it rest for half an hour. After it has rested roll it out on a lightly floured surface or use a pasta machine to make thin sheets. It's now ready to cook, it only takes 3 - 4 minutes in boiling water. Before it's cooked you can cut it into shapes, strips or strands or use it to make filled pasta like ravioli or tortellini.
