Tasty Sourdough Pasta Recipe

Step 1

Using a spatula or a stand mixer, combine all the ingredients. If you are using a stand mixer, pulse it by turning it on and off constantly so that it will mix in gradually to prevent the flour from flying all over. Once combined, you will have a shaggy dough that is pretty rough or crumbly.

Step 2

Using dry, clean hands, press the dough together (within the bowl) and knead it a few times to form a more cohesive ball of dough. Knead further either with a mixer or with hands. If using hands, overturn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead by pushing the dough away with the base of your palm and then pushing it back and folding it in towards you with your fingers. If using a mixer, use a dough hook on speed 4-Knead till dough is totally cohesive and malleable.
