Homemade Pasta

1 pound of semolina flour
*if you cannot find semolina flour, use all purpose
5 eggs
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Water enough to smooth out the dough

Put the semolina flour on a clean surface and using your hands make a well. Crack the eggs into the well. Season with salt and add a splash of extra virgin olive oil. Whisk the egg mixture with a fork and slowly work outwards to incorporate the flour. When the dough is thick enough, begin using your hands to knead the dough. If the dough seems dry, wet with a little water. Knead the dough for 5 to 10 minutes until elastic.

Follow the directions on your pasta machine to roll and cut the dough.

Boil for 3-5 minutes until tender.
