how to make Gordon Ramsay’s Homemade Pasta

Ingredients:

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
3 large eggs
½ tsp sea salt
½ Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:

Make the Dough Base: On a clean surface, pile the flour and form a well in the center. Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well.
Mix and Form Dough: Use a fork to slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs. Then mix with your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until it feels smooth. If it’s too dry, add a few drops of water; if it’s too sticky, dust it with a little flour.
Rest the Dough: Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Divide and Flatten: Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Flatten one piece into a small oval shape.
Roll the Dough: Pass the flattened dough through a pasta machine on setting 1 three times. Fold it into thirds and roll it again through settings 2 and 3 three times each. Finally, run it once through settings 4, 5, and 6.
Flour and Store Sheets: Lay the rolled sheets on a floured baking sheet. Dust them with flour and fold them lightly. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
Cut the Pasta: Use a cutter to shape the pasta as you like (e.g., fettuccine).
Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water for 1-2 minutes until it reaches al dente. Drain and serve immediately.
