Delicious Homemade Pasta
There’s something incredibly satisfying about making pasta from scratch. The process is not only therapeutic but also rewarding as you indulge in your delicious creation. Here’s how to make your very own pasta!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Semolina flour for dusting
- Your favorite sauce for serving
Instructions
- Begin by placing the all-purpose flour on a clean countertop or in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well, add the salt and olive oil. Using a fork, gently beat the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough begins to form.
- Once the dough starts coming together, knead it with your hands for about 8-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour, but be careful not to overdo it.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. This step is essential as it relaxes the gluten, making it easier to roll out the dough.
- After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until you reach your desired thickness.
- Cut the rolled-out pasta into your preferred shape: fettuccine, tagliatelle, or lasagna sheets.
- Dust the pasta with semolina flour to prevent sticking and lay it out on a clean towel or drying rack.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness. Fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried pasta!
- Drain the pasta and toss it with your favorite sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade creation!
This homemade pasta is delightful on its own or paired with a rich sauce and fresh herbs. Enjoy the process of making it, and most importantly, savor every bite of your delicious meal!
