EASY HOMEMADE FOOD PROCESSOR PASTA

Place everything in the bowl of your food processor.  Pulse several times and then mix on medium until a ball forms.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured countertop and knead for 2-3 minutes.  If the dough is sticky, dust with more flour.

Form the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap.  Refrigerate for 1 hour or more.

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces.  If you have a KitchenAid pasta attachment (easiest method by far), form each piece of the dough into a thin disk and pass each through the KitchenAid pasta ‘sheet’ attachment several times, increasing the level each time starting at 2 and ending at 7, until it is paper thin (follow the KitchenAid instructions).  If you do not have a KitchenAid, you can roll the dough out by hand with a rolling pin until paper thin and almost ‘see-through’.

Cut the thin dough sheets into the pasta shape of your choice – KitchenAid has great attachments for fettuccine, spaghetti, rigatoni, etc…. or you can hand-cut into pappardelle or ravioli, etc…  Cook the pasta boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until al dente in texture.
