This is a very basic recipe for fresh pasta. You can also add a variety of other pureed ingredients to flavor the dough, such as spinach, herbs, spices, or sun-dried tomatoes. If you do, you may need to reduce the amount of liquid or add more flour for wetter ingredients to achieve the proper dough consistency.

5 cups (1.2 l) semolina flour (or bread flour)
8 eggs
3 fluid ounces (100 ml) water
pinch salt
