Pasta Dough

Ingredients

500 mL (16 oz)	All-purpose flour, plus additional flour for the work surface
2.5 mL (½ tsp)	Salt
1	Egg yolk
2	Whole eggs
15 mL (1 tbsp)	Louianna Estates Olive Oil
100 mL (3.5 oz)	Water

Method

1. Combine both flours and salt on a clean working surface, or a large bowl.
2. Lightly beat egg yolk and whole egg. Make a well in the flour and pour in the egg mixture and oil. Incorporate a little of the surrounding flour into the egg, then slowly pour the water while incorporating the remaining flour a little bit at a time. Knead the dough until it reaches a smooth and silky texture, this will take about 10-15 minutes.
3. Neatly roll the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and allow it to rest in a cool place for 20-30 minutes.
   

• Use whole wheat pasta for lasagna, fettuccine, spaghetti, ravioli, tortellini or any recipe calling for regular pasta.

• Adding oil softens the dough and gives it a smoother texture.
