Pasta dough that Roz uses for every pasta shape!

Author: Roz

Ingredients

  • 2 jumbo eggs
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • 2-½ - 3 cups "00" flour from Italy
  • 1 Tbsp. whole milk this helps the pasta seal together when twisting the tortellini

Instructions

  • You can mix this the old-fashioned way by making a “bowl” of flour on a wooden block, placing the wet ingredients in the center of the ‘flour bowl’ and gently adding the flour in with a fork until completely mixed, OR you can mix the dough in a food processor until it has the consistency of cornmeal.
  • This finished dough should be well blended, but NOT sticky. If it is sticky, cut the dough into 3 sections and add 1 Tbsp. flour to each. If, on the other hand, it is too dry and crumbly, add 1 – 2 tsp. water.
  • Knead the pasta dough for 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Put into plastic bag and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • For every egg that you use, it will make about 100 tortellini, therefore this recipe makes 100 tortellini (at the correct size that is).
