OT: Homemade Pasta?

Hi Erik,
Have not tried pasta on the kitchenaid, but have made oodles of noodles using my hand crank pasta machine. It takes some work, but if you can turn the work into fun, you will love it! It will be the best pasta you've ever eaten! Can use the sheets to make any kind of ravioli, tortellini, etc! It's a blast, and excellent.
Here is a very basic recipe that has never failed me:
In a food processor,
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten
water, as needed
flour, as needed

Place flour in processor. Pulse quickly to aerate.
Add the eggs, and pulse with the food processor until the dough forms a rough ball, about 30 seconds. If dough looks like little pebbles, add 1/2 teaspoon of water at a time until it comes together. If the dough is too wet, add flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time. It should combine to be a rough ball.

Turn the ball onto a dry worksurface, and knead until the dough is smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Use flour if its sticking.

Cover with plastic wrap, and set aside for at least 15 minutes to relax prior to rolling. (can be wrapped and stored in refrigerator for up to one day before rolling).

Good luck! I have been successful with this recipe every time.
