Pasta Dough

Method

Making Handmade Pasta

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    On a clean surface, mound the all-purpose flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and add salt and olive oil.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the edges of the well until a rough dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Bring the dough together with your hands and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Roll out the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll each piece to your desired thickness.

  5. 5

    Cut the Pasta

    Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shape (fettuccine, tagliatelle, etc.) using a sharp knife or pasta cutter.

  6. 6

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 2-4 minutes until al dente, then drain and serve with your favorite sauce.
