pasta machine or rolling pin and mixing bowl

160g Doves Farm Organic Pasta and Pizza Flour
pinch of fine salt
2 eggs
flour, for dusting

Fresh Pasta Dough

1. Put the flour and salt into a mixing bowl, stir to combine.
2. Make a depression in the middle of the flour.
3. Break the eggs into the middle and beat them, allowing a little flour to be incorporated each time you stir.
4. Continue stirring as the flour mixes in, eventually forming a dough.
5. Gather the dough together and knead it for 100 presses to make a smooth ball of dough, adding a little flour only if needed.
6. Cover and leave the dough to rest for 15 minutes.

Lasagne Sheets Using a Rolling Pin

1. Sprinkle flour over the table and over the rolling pin.
2. Cut the pasta into four pieces and roll each piece into a rectangle, turning it over regularly and dusting lightly with flour.
3. Take one rectangle and cut that into four pieces.
4. Roll each piece into its own rectangle 1mm thick.
5. Repeat with the remaining pieces of pasta.
6. Dust the pasta lightly with flour to stop it sticking and lay it out for an hour to dry.
7. Uncooked lasagne sheets can be chilled for up to 24 hours before using.
8. Use lasagne sheets according to your recipe.

Lasagne Sheets Using a Pasta Machine

1. Dust the pasta machine and the table liberally with flour.
2. Cut the dough into four pieces.
3. Flatten each piece of dough and pass it through the widest, flat roller of a pasta machine to make a rectangle.
4. Fold the rectangle in half and pass it though the roller two more times.
5. Lay the pasta on the table and cut it into 4 rectangular pieces.
6. Decrease the roller width and pass each piece through a couple of times, to make a longer rectangle, before returning it to the flour dusted table. If the dough seems sticky dust it with flour.
7. Reduce the roller width again and roll each pasta sheet thinner.
8. Repeat with all the pieces of dough until they are 1mm thick.
9. Dust the uncooked pasta with flour to stop it sticking and lay it out for an hour to dry.
