Yes, please.

I think I have been looking forward to making pasta since I started school.
I have made home made pasta a thousand times, so why I am not counting down the minutes to braising lamb or poaching fish, I don't know. I kind of do- I am such a fat kid at heart.

"skinny fat"

I just really love pasta.

Today we made pasta dough for production tomorrow!

fresh egg pasta dough.

The classic way to make pasta dough is 1 egg to 1 cup of flour with water and salt as needed. 

The recipe we made in class.... which happens to be the recipe I usually use at home is as follows...

Ingredients:

16 oz bread flour

4 eggs

1/2 oz olive oil

Water as needed

Salt to taste

Method:

Measure out flour onto counter top or in a very large bowl. 

Create a "well" for eggs and oil. 

Knead dough. 

Add water as needed to get to the proper consistency.  

Season with salt. 

Let rest at least one hour.

Roll out.

Continued tomorrow......
