"Prepare yourselves people. Ask the question, have you ever had fresh pasta? Few of us have. We’re so used to the dried stuff you find in the stores and as good as it can be… Nothing quite beats a bomb-ass fresh fuckin’ pasta. Trust in thy. My wife and I ate nothing but it during our entire tour of Italy. It changes you. Yes it does. Okay. So. Time to learn. This is a stupidly easy process, no need for tweezers or tattoos of avocados folks. You’ll be tossing dough around your house every weekend like a real chef."

- 6 Fresh Egg Yolks
- 1 whole Fresh Egg
- 6 grams Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 17 grams Heavy Whipping Cream
- generous pinch of Kosher Salt
Method
Step 1
Pour your weighed out flour onto a large wooden surface and form a well in the center. Make sure to keep one hand clean until the kneading process or you’ll end up beating your children from the frustration of it getting EVERYWHERE.
Step 2
Pour the egg yolks, whole egg, olive oil, heavy whipping cream and salt into the well.
Step 3
Take a fork and slowly work in the flour to center. This is a fun process to do with the kiddos folks, so bring them into the kitchen for this-- they’ll forever challenge themselves to keep the “volcano” from overflowing.
Step 4
Now that everything is worked in, you should have a pretty messy, sandy, wet glob on the table. Have no fear, bench scraper is here. Take a bench scraper and shovel up everything from the table, folding it onto the dough-- continue this until something tangible has formed.
Step 5
Knead for 15 to 20 minutes. Take care not to over flour while kneading the dough-- this is a process people. Press the dough with the butt of your palm away from you and use your other hand to fold it back up over onto itself. That’s it. Simple. Now you can buy that fancy hat and knife tattoo.
Step 6
The dough is done when it’s become quite smooth and incredibly elastic. Pinch the thing-- it should spring back. If it doesn’t… Well, that fucking sucks!
Step 7
Rest the dough for up to 24 hours. Roll out and cook! It should take about 3-4 minutes and PRESTO!
