Nonna Renna's Pasta

I was missing my Nonna this last week, so I rallied the kids, watched a few youtube videos, and we started making home made pasta. So good! I miss Nonna, but this helped me feel a little bit closer to her.

2 Cups All Purpose Flour
3 Eggs

Place flour in food processor (I used my blender) pulse a few times to aerate the flour. Place eggs in a separate bowl and lightly mix, just so that when you mix the flour and egg it wont have chunks of yoke, it will be well blended. Add egg mixture to flour. Pulse in a food processor for no more than 30 seconds, until dough is formed. If the dough is too dry add water a tsp at a time. Take out of the processor and knead until dough is formed and uniform. Cover with plastic and let 'rest' for 15-30 minutes. When dough is rested cut it into manageable pieces, I cut mine into six. Work with one manageable piece at a time. Form into a circle and put it through the largest setting on the pasta machine, roll it through. Fold the dough (like an envelope) and place through the largest setting again. Fold the dough one last time and roll it through the largest setting. Then start rolling it through setting the machine smaller and smaller. When dough gets to desired thickness (mine was 5 or 6 out of 9) roll it through the linguine cutter or cut into desired pasta. Let dry, or eat fresh 3-5 minutes cooking time.
