• On a clean dry surface measure out your four and form a hill on your counter top
• using the back of the measuring cup or your hands crate a well in the pile big enough to hold all 5 eggs
• crack eggs one at a time into a separate bowl then add into the well.
• using a fork break all the egg yolks
• begin whisking the eggs being careful not to break through the flour walls.
• continue to mix the eggs slowly incorporating the flour until it begins to make a past and will no longer run all over the counter if you wee to break through the walls
• use a bread scrapper to bring the flour from the outside to cover the egg mixture and use a chopping action to combine slightly
• continue all the was around
• use your hands to start bringing everything together, the dough will start off crumbly and dry but keep kneading and it will all come together
• kneed until everything is combined and the ball of dough is smooth
• wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 min

Making the Noodles

• divide the dough into 4 pieces
• make sure the dough you are not working with stays wrapped up.
• using a rolling pin or pasta roller roll the dough out as thinly as desired
• if you are using a pasta roller you can put the thin dough through the cutting portion right away if you are cutting my hand allow the rolled dough to dry for 15-20 minutes before cutting.
• hand cut pasta to dry or boil right away in salted water. 3-5 minutes until al dente. fresh pasta takes less time to cook than the cry packaged kind so keep an eye on it and do your taste test frequently.
• serve with your favourite pasta sauce.
