Pasta Dough
★★☆☆☆
Ingredients
- 500 grams Tipo “00” flour (about 2-3 cups)
- 250 grams egg yolks (ideally from Jidori hens, approximately 12-13 large yolks)
- 30 grams (2 Tbsp + 2 tsp) milk
- 25 grams (1 Tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large whole egg
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and egg yolks.
- Add the whole egg, olive oil, and milk to the bowl.
- Knead ingredients together until a smooth and soft dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 8 hours.
- Notes: The original recipe omits the amount of flour. Refer to a standard pasta dough recipe for guidance, as the amount of flour needed can vary depending on the size of the eggs and the humidity. You will likely need between 2-3 cups of flour.
Wine Pairing: Medium Red (Chianti) — Dependent upon the sauce and other components of the dish. Generally, Italian reds like Chianti Classico or Barbera pair well.
