How to Make Fresh Pappardelle Pasta

Step 1

On a work surface, mound flour and a pinch of salt; make a well. Crack in the eggs. Using a fork, scramble the eggs; gradually work in flour.

Step 2

As dough starts to come together, use your hands to finish incorporating the flour and egg; form the dough into a ball.

Step 3

By hand or in a stand mixer with a dough hook, knead dough, 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth. Form into a ball; wrap in plastic. Let rest 30 minutes.

Step 4

Unwrap the dough and cut into four pieces. With your hands, stretch each piece into an oval about 1/3 inch thick.

Step 5

Run each oval through the pasta roller, starting at the widest setting and working to the thinnest, creating long, thin sheets.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, cut each sheet into a 12-inch-long rectangle. Then cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide noodles.
