Homemade Pasta – Simple and Flavorful

This pasta recipe is quick and requires no equipment. If you have equipment that definitely makes things easier, but you really don’t NEED anything. This will be some of the best pasta you will ever have.

recipe
  • 10 oz All-Purpose Flour or 00 Flour (~2 cups of flour)
  • 2 Whole Eggs
  • 4 Egg Yolks
  • 1 tsp of Salt

This recipe produces 4-6 servings. I personally make 4 servings because its good and I want a lot of it!

instructions – Pasta dough
  1. Combine the flour and salt on a cutting board and make a hole in the middle of the pile to pour the eggs in.
  2. Mix the eggs in the middle of the flour-hole.
  3. Once the eggs and flour start to be “dough-like” start kneading the pasta dough together.
  4. Let the dough rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes**, covered in plastic wrap or a ziploc or a reusable bag (the world is burning around us – so reusable bags are super cute)

Yay the pasta dough is done already!

** Letting the dough rest for at least 30 minutes allows for the gluten to rest and form better. Plus the dough gets more hydrated.

instructions – Pasta shaping
  1. Now you will roll out the dough. Simple enough, right? If you have a pasta machine, it is way easier. And a kitchenaid pasta machine makes it 100x easier. But that shits expensive and you can just use a rolling pin.
  2. When the pasta is rolled to the thickness you want you can make the pasta into any shape you want!
  3. If you like fettuccine you can just use a knife to cut the dough into pieces

Then the noodles are ready to be cooked. Just cook them in salty water until they have the texture you want.
