Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Water, as needed
Instructions:
On a clean work surface or in a large mixing bowl, mound the flour and create a well in the center.
Crack the eggs into the well and add the salt.
Using a fork, beat the eggs and gradually start incorporating the flour from the sides of the well.
Continue mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
Once the dough has formed, knead it on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
After resting, roll out the dough using a rolling pin or a pasta machine until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the rolled-out dough into wide strips, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide, to create Pappardelle pasta.
Dust the strips with flour to prevent them from sticking together.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the Pappardelle pasta for 2-3 minutes, or until al dente.
Drain the pasta and toss with your favorite sauce or toppings.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Pappardelle pasta!
Note: You can adjust the width of the Pappardelle strips to your preference. Pappardelle is a broad, flat pasta that's perfect for hearty sauces or ragus.
