I finally found the recipe! It came with the pasta attachment to our Kenwood mixer.
500g plain flour 1/2 tsp salt 4 eggs water to make up to 220ml of liquid (including eggs)Add salt to flour. Beat eggs. Add water to make liquid to 220 ml. Mix together and shape into desired pasta shape. If the mixture is too dry, add more water.
Enjoy!
Up here in the Blue Mountains of NSW I'm sticking to the recipe I found in an Italian cookbook -- this works just fine with my Italian pasta-maker (an Imperia) which leaves out the salt and the water but adds a dessert-spoon of olive-oil. I use two cups flour and three eggs and the oil, and work it together by hand. If too dry, add another egg. If too sticky, add some more flour. Just keep varying ingredients until you're left with a firm dough which will go through the pasta machine without sticking. BUT before using the dough, chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours. The salt isn't needed in true Italian pasta as the Italians use lots of salt in the water when cooking it -- enough soaks into the pasta to give it the right taste. Interestingly, the recipe on the box of my Imperia ravioli-mould does include some water -- maybe the pasta sheets for ravioli need the water to stay more flexible than the pasta sheets used for fettucine, spaghetti etc. Cheers, Anthony
