Homemade Pasta

Hands down, nothing beats homemade pasta!  And if you have the pasta roller and cutter attachments for your Kitchenaid Mixer, it's a snap to make.  I like to use fresh eggs from my chickens, using an extra yolk for flavor.

Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon water, if needed

Directions
Place flour and salt in large bowl; whisk to combine. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside. In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, egg yolks and oil.
Pour egg mixture into well. Working from the inside rim of well towards the outside, slowly incorporate flour into egg mixture, adding water, 1/4 teaspoon at a time, if dough seems too dry.
When dough begins to come together, transfer to a clean work surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before using.
