Bicicletta is where handmade pasta, 72-hour wood-fired pizza and thoughtfully selected Italian wines and spritzes come together. Whip up your own handmade pasta with this easy at-home recipe.
INGREDIENTS
• 3 cups 00 flour
• 6 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• 2 pinches salt
• Semolina flour, as needed
Directions
On a clean, dry work surface, make a mound with the flour. Make a large well in the center and break the eggs in the middle. Add the EVOO and gently beat the eggs. Slowly begin to fold the flour into the beaten eggs. It will begin to form a doughy mass. Work this mass using your fingers until it begins to lose its moist and sticky character. When the mass begins to feel uniformly dry, begin to work the dough using both hands, kneading with the palms of both hands for approximately 10 minutes. Form a large ball, wrap it in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Cut the ball of dough into three equal pieces. Form these pieces, by hand, into equal rectangles to be passed through the rollers of the pasta machine. Set the cylindrical rollers at their widest opening and pass the dough through. As the sheet of pasta comes out the bottom of the rollers, set it on a dry cotton towel to rest while you begin on the next piece. Repeat the thinning process with the remaining pieces of pasta, thinning and then setting aside. Boil for two to three minutes and enjoy with your favorite pasta sauce.
