Pappardelle
I love making homemade Pappardelle. Because fresh pasta tastes ten times better than any store-bought dry Pappardelle pasta. If you have some time, try to make it on the weekend. It's so fun to make and so easy. You only need 3-4 ingredients to make this pappardelle.
I don't make pasta at home just because it's fun to make, but because I know what ingredients are in it, and to take special care of cleanliness when making it, because it has been observed many times that small Factories do not take care of cleanliness, and the ingredients used are of low quality because they only want their profits.
This does not mean that you should only use homemade pasta when you are short on time and want to make pasta, you can buy it from the market, but take special care that what we Buy it should be from a good company, I will not name any company because I am not writing for any company but this is only for the good health of you and your family.
Is pasta good for health or not?

Directions for Homemade Pappardelle
Sift both the flours into a large bowl and make a well in the middle. Mix the eggs, a pinch of salt, and olive oil in a bowl, then pour into the well. With a fork, slowly mix the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until just combined.
Step 2
When the dough starts to come together, start kneading the dough with your hands. until the dough comes together and is not too sticky to handle. If the dough is still sticky, add a little more dry flour and keep kneading for 10 minutes, kneading makes the dough nice and light.
Step 3
Divide the dough into two parts, shape each piece into a ball and wrap it in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
