190ml water
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp hemp oil
In a mixing bowl, add egg, salt and oil to the flour. Knead to make
a dough that doesn't stick to your hands (add more flour or water
as necessary). Leave to sit for 30 minutes. Cut a palm size piece
of dough, roll out and dust with flour. Knead by hand for at least
five more minutes. Alternatively, run the dough through at the
thickest setting of your pasta machine. Fold and dust the dough
and run through again before repeating using medium setting. If
working by hand roll the smooth elastic dough out to 50cm by
40cm, 2mm thick on a floured surface. With the machine use
thinnest setting to repeat and pull the pasta away from the end,
this time without folding.
You now have the basic pasta sheet which can be cut into
various shapes, cooked and served with a tomato, fresh basil
pesto, garlic, oregano and olive oil sauce (see sauce section) or
fungi royale. To make tagliatelle, cut into 5mm strips.
