Pasta Dough

250 gr (9 oz) fine semolina or plain flour
a pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 eggs
3 egg yolks

Mix the semolina or flour with the salt and olive oil
and mix well for 1 minute.  Add the eggs and egg yolks
and stir well until it becomes a dough.  Knead the 
dough for 1 to 3 minutes until it has a smooth texture.
Wrap it in cling film and chill for 30 minutes to
rest.  The pasta is now ready to use.  It can be
rolled, cut and cooked straight away, or cut and left
to dry and used later.  If dried, the pasta will
always take a little longer to cook.

Makes 450 gr (1 lb)
