Homemade pasta is such a delicious and beautiful dish, one that yields a result that won't soon be forgotten. Using the most humble ingredients, you can make a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors. The fresh, light taste will leave you wondering why you don't do this more often.
Put flours and salt in a food processor and pulse briefly to mix. Add in the fresh herbs and pulse till herbs are small flecks mixed in with flour. With motor running, drizzle in oil and then the water. Continue to process for another minute or so. When the flour clumps together, it’s ready. Pinch and press dough together with your fingers, it should stick together, but not be wet.
Remove dough from processor and knead for about 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth. It should not be sticky when you’re done.
Let dough rest for at least 30 minutes, wrapped in plastic, then roll into desired thickness and shapes or pass through pasta machine. If you’re using a pasta machine, like the one pictured in the main large photo at the top of the page, cut your dough into pieces and roll so that it’s a few inches wide, wide enough to pass through the pasta machine.
