Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup Flour. - 185 grams
2 Eggs
2 tbsp Olive Oil.
2 tbsp Water. -Room temperature.
½ tsp Salt.

Instructions

Flour. In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine together the flour and salt. Then create a well in the center of the mixture.
Wet Ingredients In the well that you just created in the center of the flour, add the eggs, olive oil, and water.
Knead. Knead the ingredients in the bowl until the dough becomes elastic and not sticky. This should take about 10 minutes on medium low speed or a bit longer by hand.
Rest. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
Dough. Divide the dough in half and then divide each half in half. On a lightly floured clean surface, roll out the first portion of dough to no thicker than about 1/16th" (it needs to be as thin as possible without being see through).
Cut Use a pasta cutter wheel to cut the pasta into two inch wind strips. Then use the pizza cutter to cut each strip to about an inch and a half tall (each strip will be 2" wide and ½ " tall).
Shape. To form the bow tie, pinch the pasta in the center from top to bottom (straight edges). Then shape the pasta into an accordion and pinch the center together.
Cook. Cook the pasta for 5-7 minutes in boiling salt water or until done (cooking time can differ depending on the size of the pasta).
