Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 12 oz all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • eggs
Process all-purpose flour and salt in a food processor, add the eggs, and add more flour a little at a time as needed; process about a minute to develop gluten for chew.
Wrap in plastic wrap and rest 30 minutes.
Divide, flour generously and roll thinner one notch at a time on a pasta roller, halving the sheet when it gets too long; cut into fettuccine.
Rolling and cooking fettuccine
Cook the fresh pasta 60 to 90 seconds, until it floats.
  • 5 oz unsalted butter
  • 2½ oz freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Put five ounces of unsalted butter and two and a half ounces of grated Parmigiano Reggiano in a heated bowl and add the hot pasta.

  • ¼ cup starchy pasta cooking water
  • kosher salt
Top with another two and a half ounces of Parmigiano and a quarter cup of starchy pasta water, and toss with a pinch of kosher salt, tossing in the air to aerate into a creamy emulsified sauce; no black pepper.
  • parm
Twist up with a carving fork and serve with a little more grated parm on top.
