  • To make the pasta, place the 2 cups of flour and salt into a bowl, mix and make a well in the centre. Combine the eggs, water and oil together and pour it into the well made in the flour
  • Using a fork or your fingers, gradually mix the flour into the water until it all comes together then gentry knead the pasta dough for 2-3 minutes.

  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil and season lightly with salt.
  • Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rough rectangle, approx. 3mm thick, on a floured bench (using the reserved flour) then using a knife, cut it into 3mm strips or any shape you want, triangles, squares or rectangles, have some fun with it. Set aside on a tray lined with baking paper.
  • Place the grape tomatoes into a medium frying pan along with the olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano and chili. Cook over a medium heat, gently shaking the pan, until the tomatoes are bursting and collapsing then add the white wine and cook out until reduced by half. Set aside.
