Filed under Pasta

Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001. Makes about 1 3/4 pounds fresh pasta.

Ingredients

1 lb Flour, all-purpose
2 Egg, large
8 Egg yolk, large
1 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Olive oil, extra-virgin

Directions

Process the flour and salt in a food processor to mix. With the machine running, add the eggs, yolks and oil through the feed tube and process until it looks like wet cornmeal, about 2 minutes.
Press handfuls of dough into firm balls and roll each into the shape you want with a pasta machine.
Cook in boiling salted water until just al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain and serve with sauce.
