There are many types of pasta dough that can be made. Every one has a slightly different use, taste or look.
But what if you are not trying to be overly technical or specific and just want to make a simple pasta that is good for a wide range of pasta types.
Here is a simple, but great goto pasta ratio to use.
Ingredients:
100g Flour (can be all purpose, bread or 00)
1 large egg (50-55g)
Directions:
Place the flour on the counter and create a well in the middle.
Add the egg.
Use a fork to whisk the egg till the white and yolk are combined then slowly start pulling in flour from the sides of the well.
Once enough flour is mixed in with the egg, use your hands to start kneading the dough.
This could take 5-10 min. Keep going as long as the mixture is still picking up flour. You will be surprised at how much is absorbed.
Wrap the dough in platic wrap and let sit for 30 min before using.
Notes:
Servings: 2
For a richer flavor, add 1 egg yolk. You will need a little more flour.
