Preparation:
Mix flour, poppy seeds, herb and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture. Mix in eggs, 1/4 cup water and the oil thoroughly. (If dough is too dry, mix in a few drops of water. If dough is too sticky, mix in small amount of flour.)
Gather dough into ball. Knead on floured surface about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll one part at a time into paper-thin rectangle on generously floured surface (keep remaining dough covered). Loosely fold rectangle lengthwise into thirds. (If using pasta machine, pass dough through machine until 1/16-inch thick.)
Heat 4-1/2 quarts water to boiling. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pasta. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until almost tender; drain. |
