Homemade Pasta - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon water (cold)
    1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 -2 cup white flour
Preparation
    Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. I usually make a LOT and store in the fridge.
    Combine the first 4 ingredients and whisk together well with a fork.
    Add 1/2\u00b0C flour and mix with the fork until all lumps are gone.
    Keep adding flour little by little until a non-sticky ball is formed. (You will use between 1 & 1-1/4\u00b0C of flour, depending on the humidity, etc.
    Knead WELL about 10 minutes. Add light coating of flour as needed, until a firm ball is formed.
    Allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
    Cut off billiard ball-sized pieces and roll them out flat on a well-floured board. (Maybe 1-2 mm. thick).
    Fold thrice (3x) and cut noodles with a sharp knife roughly 4 mm. thick. - Similar to cutting soba noodles (Japanese buckwheat noodles) though with the thickness of udon noodles.
    Stretch out pasta and let dry (either hanging or on a plate) for a few minutes up to an hour.
    Cook in a pot of boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes or until the pasta floats to the top.
    -->Super delicious with olive oil, crushed, raw garlic, salt and parm. cheese, but can be combined with any sauce. This pasta really holds onto sauces, unlike commercial dried pastas.
