Step 1

Clean your bench as this is best done on a large hard surface.

Step 2

Add your flour on to the surface and create a well in the centre. Crack your 2 eggs inside, add your salt and oil into the eggs. Using a fork beat the eggs and slowly incorperate the flour into the egg.

Step 3

Once flour is incorperated begin kneeding the dough. you may require more flour just ensure the pasta mix doesn't bercome to hard. Kneeding may take 5-10 minutes. once completed roll the pasta into a bowl and wrap in plastic wrap place into the fridge and allow the pasta to rest for 30 minutes. Here you can begin prep of your dish i.e. spag bowl.

Step 4

After 30 minutes remove your pasta dough and either with a rolling pin or pasta machine and firstly roll the pasta, fold, repeat these 2 actions for a total of 3 times before making your dough thin enough to your pasta dish liking. without a machine once thin you can use a knife to slice it to desire

Step 5

add flour to the cut pasta to avoid it sticking. too much flour and when boilied it becomes starchy. too little flour and the pasta will stick and become a glob. If you add to much you can dust your pasta.

Step 6

To finish your pasta (for a spag bowl) a generous helping of salt into a pot and add boiled water from the kettle. Get the pot to a rolling boil before adding your pasta. check after 5 minutes if done. once done drain.

Step 7

If you need more portions just double the recipe. 90g of flour per egg ensures that you don't add too much flour that the pasta becomes to dry (from experience)
