- Place both flours on a clean surface. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and yolks. With a fork break up the eggs as you bring in the flour. Stir with the fork until you have a dough which you can work with your hands. Knead well until you have a smooth, silky and elastic dough and a clean surface.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and rest it in the fridge for a while. I use a pasta machine to roll out my pasta into sheets about 1- cm (4 inches wide).
- Divide your ball of pasta into 4 pieces and keep covered. Working with one ball at a time, flatten out with your hand and run through the thickest setting on your machine. Fold in half and repeat this process several times, to give you perfect, textured pasta.
- Dust the sheet of pasta on both sides with flour running it through the settings. I usually repeat this 4 or 5 times, dusting and moving the setting in each time until I have the desired thickness (normally about 1-2 mm thick, depending on the type of pasta I am making).
