2 c All-purpose flour 2 Eggs at room temperature 1/2 ts Salt 1 tb Olive oil 4 tb Water 1 Heaping tablespoon finely Ground fresh pepper
Put the flour on a flat surface and shape it into a mound. Make a well in
the center and add the eggs, salt, olive oil, 2 tablespoons water, and the
ground pepper. (Be sure when you grind the pepper that it isnt too large
or it will tear the pasta.) Mix with a wooden spoon by combining the eggs
and the flour with a circular motion, taking some flour from the inside of
the well. Add the remaining water and mix until it comes together.
Transfer the dough onto a floured board and knead it for 10 minutes. Work
the dough into a ball, cover it with a bowl, and let it rest for 15
minutes. Roll the dough (using more flour, if needed) into a cylinder about
6 inches long and slice into 1-inch pieces. Flatten each piece of dough
with a rolling pin or the palm of your hand. Roll dough out on a pasta
machine.
