Recipes

In a large mixer, combine all ingredients. Mix until soft dough forms. Replace mixing paddle with dough hook. Kneed about 5 minutes low speed setting. The dough should still be very soft and sticky, but should form a single mass.

Remove dough from mixing bowl and place on a well floured surface--sprinkle top of ball lightly with flour. With floured hands, kneed to form pillow like ball. Let rest 20 minutes.

Use Pasta Rollers (either as a mixer attachment or the standalone variety) to form thick, wide, flat noodles.

Boil immediately (they cook very quickly) or make loose pasta "flowers" and freeze in separate bunches on a cookie sheet. When frozen solid, remove from cookie sheet and transfer to large freezer bag. Store in freezer--thawing not necessary prior to cooking.

Keys to success: kneed and rest the dough for the entire recommended amount of time. use plenty of flour when rolling and cutting--this dough can be sticky.
