I recently changed how I make homemade pasta – and I personally think it is way more simple and forms better. I can’t take credit for this recipe though. I have been trying to watch youtube videos on Italian cooking, from Italians. A lot of Italian grandmas use this simple recipe when cooking for their families.

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

• 100g of 00-Flour (or all-purpose flour if you don’t have 00-flour)
• 1 Eggs

This recipe produces 1 servings. Scale up based on the number of people/servings you are making!

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.

In my original homemade pasta dough recipe, I added in a section on pasta shaping – so I will attach it below to round out this updated recipe.

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.
