Pasta Dough

It's easy. Anybody can do it, and it's so versatile you can use it for anything not just pasta. You can definitely use it for egg rolls as well. Ever since I started learning how to make pasta dough it has been so life changing. All the pasta meals I make tastes so much different from the dry pasta you buy in a box. I'm not hating on the ones that come in a box those are great as well; but it just feels different when you can tell yourself "I literally made this, with my own hands" and then you can feel proud about yourself. 

 Ingredients
1. 1 egg

2. 100 grams of flour 

3. 2 tablespoons of olive oil

4. Pinch of Salt 

Prep Time: Depends on you







Directions
1. Now you want to start off beating your egg. Just beat it up like you were gonna prepare scrambled eggs or something. Next get a bowl and together your flour and your egg

2. Before you mix those two together, add in your olive oil and your salt. Now you can give it a good mix. You can use a wooden spoon if you don't wanna deal with sticky dough getting all over your hands. Just keep giving it a good mix until it forms into a nice yellow dough. 

3. This is the part where you gotta get handsy. Get some flour and dust it onto your board. Put your dough on the board and have it gather up all the flour that's been spread onto the board. You might want to gradually add flour from time to time in case it gets sticky again. Knead for a good 5 to 10 minutes until its a bit firm

4. If you wanna make it or shape it into the ball like you see on the tv, just grab the two ends of the dough and fold it together. Imagine you're looking at a rectangle. Grab the horizontal ends and fold them together, and just keep doing that. The bottom is going to be given a twist so it maintains that circular ball like shape.

                       And there you go. You just learned how to make pasta dough. This is for one portion, meaning 1 egg and 100 grams of flour serves 1 person. If you want to serve more than just one, just double the amount or multiply it by how many people you're serving it to. The great thing about making your own dough is it cooks in under 2 minutes! It's so freaking fast you're gonna love it. Hope this helps and happy new year!
