Today’s pasta comes in a rainbow of colors and flavors. You can add a puree of spinach, red bell pepper, carrots, parsley, pumpkin, squid ink, or fresh herbs to this recipe to amp up the flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Place the flour in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. With the machine running, add the oil and eggs, one at a time. When the dough forms a ball and is smooth and elastic to the touch, remove.

2. Divide the dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap.

3. Using a hand-cranked pasta machine, roll out the pasta from setting No. 1 through setting No. 6 for the desired thickness. Allow the pasta to dry on a pasta rack for 15 minutes before cutting into the desired type; pappardelle, fettuccine, or linguine.
