Homemade Pasta

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour (white, or whole wheat)
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon oil, Canola

Directions

1. 1

   Place the flour on your worktop, and make a well in the middle.

2. 2

   Add the egg, and salt.

3. 3

   Slowly add milk, as you are incorporating the flour into the mixture in the middle (with a spoon, work the flour gently from within the well, all sides, until you almost use up all the flour) . The dough becomes homogeneous , at which point you knead it with your hands, to obtain the consistency of pizza dough. You might need to flour up your worktop a little more, to prevent the dough from sticking during kneading.

4. 4

   Place the dough on a floured surface, cover it with a tea towel, and let it rest for few minutes.

5. 5

   Flour up you worktop again, take ½ of the dough and roll it out, using a rolling pin, to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a knife, or a pizza cutter, and cut to desired shape pasta.

6. 6

   Sprinkle generously with flour, and toss gently together, so the pasta does not stick together, and let it rest.
