Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/4 cup water
3 1/2 cups sifted, unbleached all-purpose flour

Instructions
Add eggs, water, flour, and salt to a mixer bowl. Mix with a flat beater on speed 2 for 30 seconds, or mix by hand.
Switch to dough hook and knead for 2 minutes on speed 2, or knead by hand on a floured surface until pliable.
Remove dough and knead by hand for 2 more minutes. Add water as needed to achieve a pliable dough.
Let dough rest for 20 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 pieces.
Knead one piece by hand briefly and flatten it.
Roll out into a flat pasta sheet with a rolling pin.
Repeat for remaining dough pieces.
Use a pappardelle rolling pin to cut sheets into wide ribbons. Lay pasta on floured surface to dry.
Cook in boiling, salted water for 2–5 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain and serve.
