Preparation
- 1
Make the Pasta
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

Roll and Cut the Pasta
Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until thin. Cut into 1-inch wide strips to form rigatoni shapes or use a rigatoni cutter.
