Homemade Italian Pasta
Let me guess, you have always dreamt of preparing lasagne from a to z but you don’t know how to prepare pasta from scratch? Don’t worry, I am here for you!
Equipment
- 1 Rolling Pin
- 1 pasta maker optional
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups flour (300 gr)
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Set the flour in a bowl with the shape of a volcano. If you use a pasta maker, remember to mix two different flours (⅔ of double zero flour and ⅓ semolina flour).
- In the middle of the volcano, add the eggs and start mixing, slowly adding the flour from the borders.
- Once the eggs absorb all the flour, move your dough on a cutting board and knead for 15 minutes. Your dough should become smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for an hour in a cool place.
- After an hour, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it becomes very thin, and then cut it in your favorite shape.
- If you have a pasta maker cut a piece of dough and roll it out a bit, then pass it through the pasta maker several times, reducing the thickness between every passage, until you obtain a very thin dough. Now cut it in your favorite shape to make short pasta, or pass it in the pasta maker with the shape of your choosing.
- Enjoy your pasta with your favorite sauce!
