Fresh pasta

The doses provide for use one egg for every 100 g of flour. Once you have started to mix eggs and flour, make sure that the dough is of the right consistency: if it is too soft and "wet", add another bit of flour, if it is too hard and difficult to work, add some water at room temperature. The mixture should be worked vigorously for at least ten minutes to form the gluten mesh.
