Lorraine's pasta

Makes one pound of pasta.

Combine in food processor until smooth
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tbsp cooking oil
Add in
  • 3 cups flour
And turn on the food processor.  Add though the top
  • 1/4 cup of water
Process until comes together in a ball.  You may add a few tbs additional water.

Pull out of food processor and kneed a bit into a ball until velvety.  Let rest 15 minutes before putting into the pasta machine.

For the pasta machine, start at 1 with about 1/5 of a batch of pasta.  Shape into a disk a half an inch thick.  Go from 1 to 3 on the pasta machine, then cut the strand in half and go from 4 to 6 on the halves.

Pasta is extremely sticky.  Lay on tablecloth or towels, non overlapping, dust with cornmeal.  Extra pasta should be dusted with cornmeal and frozen.  If you are making fettichine keep dusting it with flour to keep it from sticking together then put on tray with cornmeal. The cornmeal is heavier and will fall to the bottom when cooking.

If fresh, cook for 3 minutes
