Fresh pasta dough

Method

1. Combine the flours in a large bowl and mix well.
2. Make a well in the centre of the flours. Add the eggs and olive oil and gradually fold in the flour.
3. Use your hands to bring the mixture together into a dough.
4. Knead for 5-10 minutes until the pasta dough is completely smooth.
5. Wrap in cling film and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
6. Divide your ball of dough into 2. Keep one half covered with a damp tea towel to stop it from drying out. Use a rolling pin to roll out the other piece of dough until it is approximately 1-2mm thick.
7. Alternatively, use a pasta machine to roll out your dough. Start at the thickest setting, using one hand to hold the piece of dough and the other to turn the crank. Take the setting down 2 at a time until the pasta has reached the desired thickness.
8. Cut the dough into your desired pasta shape.
