Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

3 ½ cups Italian Tipo "00" flour, or more to taste

2 eggs

2 egg yolks, or more as needed

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 pinch salt

Directions

Pile flour onto a work surface and make a small well in the center; place eggs, egg yolks, olive oil, and salt into the well. Gently stir the egg mixture with a fork, gradually drawing in flour until dough comes together.

Knead dough with hands until smooth and leathery, about 10 minutes.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap; let rest until malleable, 1 to 2 hours. Remove plastic wrap.

Cut dough into four pieces; roll out with a rolling pin. Run flattened pieces through a pasta roller to create desired noodle shape.

Cook's Notes:

Based on the commercial flours available in my region, all-purpose flour will work too, but the resulting noodle won't be quite as supple.

Add up to 2 more egg yolks if dough does not clump together in step 1. The dough needs to be a little drier when you're extruding it and a little more moist if you're going to roll it.

If using a stand mixer:1. Place flour, eggs, egg yolks, olive oil, and salt in the bowl; mix with the beater paddle on low until combined, 1 to 2 minutes.2. Switch to the dough hook mixer attachment; mix until dough pulls together, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove bowl from the stand; cover with plastic wrap and proceed with step 3.
