Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is incredible pasta dough! A joy to work with. Definitely read through their instructions on how to run the pasta through your pasta machine - it is an awesome, quick and full-proof method for quickly turning dough into sheets of pasta. Oh and if you don't have a spray bottle, you can easily just wet your hands slightly as you are working the dough to add small amounts of water where needed. Worked like a charm for me. I also didn't wrap it in plastic wrap while it rested or while I was working on other portions, as I don't keep this in my house because it has BPA in it and we also try to be sustainable where possible. Instead, I used a damp flour sack towel and laid it over the dough while it rested. I think this is easier than having to wrap and unwrap saran wrap, and it did an excellent job of keeping the dough from drying out. My family raved about this pasta for days after I made it. An absolute gem of a recipe (and book)!

    You have not had pasta until you taste this pasta. Yes, almost 18 yolks and flour. Using the spray bottle to get the dough to come together is nothing short of brilliant. You have to follow all the kneading and rolling instructions. The most luxurious dough ever. Every time I serve this to some one they are blown away and really, everyone has said that is the best pasta I have ever had and most of our friends are over 60' ha,ha
