400g (14oz) (3½ cups) plain flour, preferably Italian type 00
4 eggs
salt
Sift the flour into a mound on a work surface and make a well in the centre. Break the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt.
Knead thoroughly, then roll out on a lightly floured surface into a thin sheet. Cut into 10cm (4inch) squares.
Cook the pasta squares, a few at a time in plenty of salted boiling water for a few minutes.
Remove with a slotted spoon, refresh under cold running water and spread out on clean tea towels to dry.
They are then ready for your chosen filling.
