Method:

1. Sift the flour and salt in a bowl and blend in the eggs and cream. Knead very thoroughly until smooth.

2. Cover the bowl with a cloth. Leave to stand for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough thinly and cut into very fine strips to produce tagliarini.

3. Hang up to dry or place on a clean cloth over the back of a chair. The pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

4. Cook in plenty of boiling, salted water for 3-5 minutes, depending on thickness until just tender but still with some texture. Drain and use as required.
