Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
6-7 tbsp sourdough starter discard(optional)
1 medium or large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch sea salt
Water(as needed)
Method
1.flour onto a clean work surface and use your fist to make a well in the center.Break the eggs into the well. Add the oil and a pinch of salt to the well. Gradually mix the egg mixture into the flour using the fingers of one hand, bringing the ingredients together into a firm dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a few drops of water; if the dough feels too wet, add a little more flour.Let the dough rest for 30 min .Now add sourdough discard to the dough (if not using the discard,please omit this step).
2.Knead the pasta dough until it’s smooth, 2 to 5 mint.Lightly massage it with a touch of olive oil, tuck the dough in a resealable plastic bag, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. The pasta will be much more elastic after resting than it was before.Divide the dough into small balls .
3.Roll the pasta ball with Woden roll . lightly floured surface, roll or fold one side of the sheet of dough loosely towards the center of the sheet, then repeat with the other side so that they almost meet in the middle. Gently fold one side on top of the other, but do not press down on the fold. Cut the dough into thin slices with a sharp knife, slicing through the folded dough quickly and deftly in a single motion. Hang the pasta to dry a little before cooking.
4. You need 3-4cup of water for this.Bring the salted water to a boil in a sauce pan .Throw the pasta into the water. Stir the pasta immediately after you add it to the water and perhaps once again. Stir the pasta only once or twice. If you’ve used enough water and you stir the pasta as it goes in, it shouldn’t stick each other.
5.Once it done (5/7 min)take out and drain it and keep it aside.
