NOTE: This recipe includes instructions for homemade pasta sheets using a pasta roller (or rolling pin), or pasta extruder. Homemade pasta can be made up to 6 hrs before and kept in the fridge for optimal results.
PASTA DOUGH
1. For the pasta, put flour on a clean work surface and make a well (a hole in the middle like a volcano).
2. In the well add egg, yolks, milk and butter. Stir with a fork gradually incorporating the flour until it can be mixed by hand
3. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes (more kneading will occur with the pasta roller). Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 6 hours.
4. After the dough has rested at least 30 minutes, remove from fridge. Either roll out sheets of pasta or use a pasta extruder to make the shape you desire.
5. Cook fresh pasta for a maximum of 2 minutes in a pot of boiling water. Alternatively, you can freeze the pasta. Cook frozen pasta straight from the freezer in a pot of boiling water for max of 3 minutes.
