Egg pasta

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs

  • 200g bread flour

  • A handful of blanched, chopped nettles or spinach (optional)

Method:
Stick the flour into a bowl with the nettles (if adding) and add the eggs. Mix together, by hand, to form a dough. You may need to add a splash of water, but be careful not to make the dough too wet.

Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough for about 5 minutes, before rolling out thinly with a rolling pin and cutting into thin strips.

Cook the pasta in boiling, lightly salted water for 3-5 minutes.

Great served drizzled with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
