Homemade Pasta

Place the flour on a clean work surface and make a hole. Add the eggs, avocado oil, and salt to the center and use a fork to gently break up the eggs, keeping the flour walls intact as best as you can. If it breaks on well, keep going. Then use your hands to gently bring the flour inward to incorporate. If need use a bench scraper. Keep working the dough with your hands to bring it together into a shaggy ball.

Knead the dough for 8 minutes. At first, the dough will feel pretty dry, but it will get better with time. If it needs more kneading time go to 10 minutes. It should become cohesive and smooth. If the dough still seems too dry, add some water and incorporate. If it’s too sticky, dust more flour.

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. (make sure it had 30 minutes it can go longer if needed)

The dough feels like playdough (for real it does feel like it)

Dust 1 large baking sheet with flour and set aside.

Slice the dough into four equal pieces.

Gently flatten one into an oval disk. Run the dough through the Pasta Roller Attachment or a pasta maker three times on level 1 (which is the widest setting).

Set the dough piece onto a countertop or work surface. Fold both short ends in to meet in the center, then fold the dough in half to form a rectangle.

Then repeat, run the dough through the pasta roller three times on level 2, three times on level 3, and only one time each on levels 4, 5, and 6.

Lay half of the pasta sheet onto the floured baking sheet and sprinkle with flour before folding the other half on top. Sprinkle more flour on top of the second half. Every side should be floured so that your final pasta noodles won't stick together.

Repeat with the remaining dough.

Run the pasta sheets through the Pasta Cutter Attachment (we liked the fettuccine cutter you can also use the spaghetti). Repeat with the rest of the dough.

When you cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. Or until the noodles float to the top, then it is ready eat!
