Fresh Einkorn Pasta from Savor the Best

Servings: 16 Ounces
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups Organic All-Purpose Einkorn Flour Plus more for dusting/kneeding
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 4 Large Eggs
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with a light film of olive oil or a sheet of parchment paper.
- In a large shallow bowl or on a work surface, mix the flour and salt together with a fork and then shape into a mound. Make a well in the center.
- Add the eggs and oil into the well and using a fork whisk them together. Then whisk the mixture into the flour in a circular motion, gradually incorporating the flour in small amounts in a wider path until the flour is completely mixed in.
- Transfer to a flat work surface that has been dusted with flour and begin kneading by hand. If the dough seems too moist, add small amounts of flour as you knead it. Knead until the dough begins to soften and is no longer sticky, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes. This will allow the flour to continue to absorb the moisture from the eggs.
- When ready to roll, divide the dough into 4 portions. Work with one portion at a time while keeping the remaining portions covered with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- When the pasta is ready to use, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and working in batches, drop a portion of the pasta into the water. Most fresh pastas will cook to the al-dente stage in a 30-seconds to 3-minutes cook time, depending on the thickness of the pasta.
