On a pastry board, arrange the flour into a mound and make
a well in the center. Put the eggs, salt and oil into the well. Work the ingredients
together until dough is elastic and well blended. Divide the dough into two
pieces. Roll the ?rst piece of dough with a rolling pin till about 0.08-inch
thick. With a fluted or straight pastry wheel, make the pappardelle into strips
about 1.2-inch wide. Leave the pappardelle on floured pastry board to dry.
Do the same for the second piece of dough. While pasta is drying, prepare the
ragu following the recipe below.
When the pappardelle is dry, cook pasta in a pot filled with boiling salted
water. When al dente, saute the pasta and ragu in a frying pan. Put into a
heat resistant dish and sprinkle with parmesan. Serve hot.
