i served this with Fettuccini alla Taormina. this recipe is posted on my blog.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups “00” flour, plus more as needed
- 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp. olive oil
Directions:
To make the dough with a food
processor or Kitchen Aid® mixer, fit a food processor with the metal blade. Add all but 1/2
cup of the flour and the salt to the work bowl and pulse to mix. You
will use the reserved 1/2 cup flour later to adjust the consistency of
the dough.
Crack the eggs into a liquid measuring cup and remove any stray shells. Add the olive oil; there is no need to stir. Pour the eggs and oil into the work bowl. Process until the flour is evenly moistened and crumbly, about 10 seconds. Test the dough by pinching it; if it is very sticky, add more flour, 1 Tbs. at a time, processing until it is incorporated. After about 30 seconds total, the dough should come together in a loose ball and feel moist but not sticky.
Dust a clean work surface with flour. Remove the ball of dough from the food processor and place it in the center of the floured surface. Using your hands, flatten the dough into a disk.
For both methods: Using the heel of your hand, push the dough down and away from you, fold it in half back toward you, rotate a quarter turn and repeat the kneading motion. After about 10 minutes, the dough should be smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover with an overturned bowl and let rest for 15 minutes before you roll it out. The gluten in the flour will relax, making the dough easier to roll. Do not let it rest longer or it will be too dry. Makes 1 lb. dough.
