Pasta Dough

Directions

1. 1
   Make a mound with the flour on your work surface and create a well in the centre of the flour. Put the egg yolks in a bowl and lightly mix together with the olive oil and water. Pour the mixture into the well and use a fork to gradually incorporate the flour, a little at a time, into the liquid ingredients.
2. 2
   Continue until most of the flour is incorporated and a medium-soft dough forms. Knead with your hands, incorporating a little more flour until the dough is smooth, not sticky, and springs slightly back when you push your finger into it - about 8 minutes.
3. 3
   Wrap or cover dough and let it rest for 30 minutes before rolling and cutting into shapes.
