Basic Egg-pasta Recipe – We Love God!

There is nothing into which the heart of man so easily falls as pride, and yet there is no more vice which is more frequently, more emphatically, and more eloquently condemned in Scripture. Pride is a thing which should be unnatural to us, for we have nothing to be proud of. In almost every other sin, we gather us ashes when the fire is gone. But here, what is left? The covetous man has his shining gold, but what does the proud man have? He has less than he would have had without pride, and is no gainer whatever. Pride wins no crown.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine the flour and egg in the mixing bowl of a food processor
fitted with a steel blade.Process for a few minutes.The dough will
look very granular,like yellow-colored,uncooked cream of wheat.Pinch
the dough.It should stock together.If it does not stick,mix in a bit
of oil or water. Form a ball with the dough and knead for a few
minutes on a lightly floured board.It will become smooth and  hard(much
harder than bread dough).In a few minutes,the dough should  look satiny
and smooth.Wrap it in plastic and let rest for about 30  minutes. Then
roll out the dough through a pasta roller or by  hand.Sprinkle
additional flour on the dough as needed to prevent  sticking.The dough
is quite forgiving and can be handled easily. When  the rolled-out
pasta sheet feels dry,not sticky,cut into noodles by  hand or with the
machine. If you have a pasta drying rack,hang the  cut pasta on the
rack.If not,wrap the noodles around your hand to  form a nest and set
it on a lightly floured board.Toss with flour on  occasion to allow the
pasta to dry evenly. Fresh pasta cooks  quickly.Add it to boiling water
and test a strand every 15 seconds  until done. Sometimes,I vary this
recipe by adding 1 1/2 tsp. of  olive oil and up to 1 tbsp. of a
flavoring ingredient,such as minced  fresh herbs or garlic,tomato paste
or pureed beets. Keeping the same  proportions of 1 egg to 3/4 cup
flour,the recipe can be multiplied as  many times as needed.A 1 egg
recipe will feed 1 or 2 people for a  main course;a 2 egg recipe feeds
2 to 3.An average size food  processor will handle a 3 egg recipe
easily.If you need to make  more,it is a good idea to make several
batches.  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
