Pasta From Scratch

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cup of white flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1-2 T water (as needed)
• Put the flour and eggs in the Cuisinart and pulse until blended. The result should be small grains or pea size lumps, though if the eggs are very large, a ball of dough might form if you let the Cuisinart run for a minute.
• Remove the Cuisinart lid and test the dough for moisture. If the grains/lumps will cling together when pressed, then dump the mixture onto a countertop or paper plate and press together to form a ball of dough. Place this ball in small zip lock baggie to rest. The dough should be fairly stiff and elastic (not soft and gooey-if it seems at all gooey, knead in flour).
• If the mixture is dry and doesn't cling together when pinched, then add 1T of cold water and check again. If still dry, add a second T of water.
• If the mixture is too moist and forms a wet ball, remove from the ball from the Cuisinart and kneed in more flour to form a firm, elastic dough.
• **Put in a small baggie to rest for 1 Hour
