  1/2 teaspoon salt 

 

  2 eggs, well beaten 

 

  2 tablespoons warm water 

 

Preparation

 1. Sift flour and salt onto a pastry board, make a well in the center, and add eggs and water.

Pulse briefly to mix. Combine eggs and water in a small mixing bowl. Pour through feed tube with the blades in motion. Process until dough forms into a solid mass.

 2. Knead on a floured work surface until smooth and pliable. Divide dough in half and let it rest for 30 minutes, covered with damp cotton tea towel.

 3. Use a rolling pin or a pasta machine to roll out as thin as possible. Cut into desired shapes. Spread pasta on the board and let dry thoroughly before using. Use immediately if pasta is to be filled.

Made this as recipe states, except I used cheese ravioli. They turned out pretty good, just a bit messy, as is anything you dip in egg and bread crumbs. I actually made these the same time as I made the olive garden fried mozz. sticks recipe, and the mozz. sticks were really messy in my deep fryer. But because I used the cheese ravioli, they were pretty much mozz. sticks, so I don't think I'd ever make the mozz. sticks again--but would definately make the cheese ravioli because it turns out just like square mozz. "sticks". So thanks for the recipe, I'm not sure how often I will make them, but will definately make them again.
