Pasta

Homemade pasta for supper tonight. It's so simple and much tastier than the shop bought variety.
I used 'OO' plain flour, take 300g, add 3 eggs and a pinch of salt and mix into a dough. I have a pasta machine but this can be done by rolling out again and again. Pass the dough through the machine using a thinner setting each time. Eventually the dough will be lovely and soft, and thin. Then just cut into the shape you desire, I made tagliatelle.

To cook: place in boiling water, return to the boil and cook for 1 minute, drain and enjoy with your favourite sauce/dressing.
