Homemade Pasta - flour

Method

• You can find "00" flour in specialty markets or you can order it online.
• You'll want to have everything ready and set up in front of you before getting started. Into the bowl of your Stand Mixer, add flour and create a well. Start with 3 eggs. Crack eggs into the center of the flour well and add salt. Using the flat beater attachment, mix until combined. (NOTE: If mixture is too "wet" add more flour until a dough consistency forms. If mixture is too "dry" add another egg.)
• Remove the flat beater attachment and attach the dough hook. Mix until the dough forms a ball.
• Remove the dough ball from the Stand Mixer and wrap it with plastic wrap. Transfer the wrapped dough to the refrigerator to chill for approximately 30 minutes.
• Using a sharp knife, or pastry bench scraper, cut the dough ball into four equal portions. Place one piece of dough next to the Stand Mixer and return the remaining portions to the refrigerator until ready for use.
• Attach the KitchenAid(R) Pasta Roller to the Stand Mixer and set the knob to setting 1. Sprinkle with a small amount of flour.
• Place flour, 3 eggs and salt into the bowl of your KitchenAid(R) Stand Mixer. Using flat beater attachment, mix until combined. (NOTE: If mixture is too "wet" add more flour until a dough consistency forms. If mixture is too "dry" add another egg.)
• Remove flat beater attachment and attach the dough hook. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to rest for approximately 30 minutes.
• Using a sharp knife, or pastry bench scraper, cut the dough ball into four equal portions. Place one piece of dough near the Stand Mixer and return the remaining portions to the refrigerator until ready for use.
• Attach KitchenAid(R) Pasta Roller attachment to the Stand Mixer and adjust to setting 1. Sprinkle attachment with a small amount of flour.
• Press the dough ball onto a clean floured surface until flat. Run the pasta through the roller attachment. Adjust the pasta roller to setting 2. Run the pasta through. Continue with this pattern, adjusting the setting each time until your pasta is thin. This will take several passes. Continue the process with remaining pasta balls.
• Remove Pasta Roller attachment and attach the Spaghetti Cutter. Carefully run the pasta sheet through. Transfer your fresh spaghetti to a baking sheet lightly sprinkled with flour until ready to cook.
• Continue with remaining pasta sheets.
• The fresh pasta should be cooked immediately in a pot of salted boiling water for about 3-5 minutes.
