Ingredients:
3 large eggs
2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour

Directions:
1. Place eggs and flour in bowl of Stand Mixer. Using Dough Hook Attachment and
speed 1, mix until a shaggy dough is formed.
2. Increase speed to speed 2. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove dough to a floured cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest
15 minutes.
4. Remove Dough Hook and insert Pasta Roller Accessory.
5. Cut the dough into 3 equal pieces, flour lightly, and cover with plastic wrap. Working
with one piece of dough at a time, while keeping other pieces covered, shape it into
a rectangle about 5 x 3 inches (12.7 x 7.6 cm). Set the rollers of the Pasta Roller
Accessory to Setting 1 and Stand Mixer Speed Control Dial to speed 1 or 2. Pass the
pasta rectangle through the rollers with one of the short sides first. Fold the dough in
thirds and pass the same piece of dough through the rollers, short side first, a second
time. Change Pasta Roller Accessory to Setting 2. Follow same process with the
remaining dough pieces. Flour the dough pieces very lightly as you work—just enough
to keep them from sticking to the rollers.
6. Continue rolling the pieces of dough in the same order (so they have a chance to rest
a little between rollings), decreasing the thickness by one setting each time, until all
the pieces of dough have been passed through the thinnest setting desired. Do not pull
the dough sheets through the Accessory as they get longer, but rather support them
lightly from underneath as they emerge from the rollers; pulling dough sheets will
stretch them out of shape. Keep the pieces of dough that are not being rolled covered
with plastic wrap or a slightly damp towel.
7. When all the pasta has been rolled into sheets, completely cover them with lightly
floured towels and let them rest about 30 minutes before cutting.
8. Remove the Pasta Roller Accessory and insert the Pasta Cutter Accessory. Pass each
pasta sheet through the Cutter Accessory. Flour lightly to keep pasta from sticking.
9. Cook fresh pasta in boiling water 3 to 4 minutes.
