To Make Pasta by Hand
1. Mound flour on a large clean board. Make a well in the center. Break eggs and salt into the well. Beat the eggs with a fork.
2. Gently start to work some of the flour from the side of the well into the beaten egg.
3. Continue until most of the flour is incorporated and the dough is sticky. When it becomes too hard to use the fork, continue with your hands.
4. Knead 10 to 12 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Cover tightly with plastic wrap if not using immediately.
