Description
Creating homemade pasta is an adventure that brings the heart of Italian cuisine to your kitchen, perfect for gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- On a clean work surface, pour 2 cups of flour and create a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs, add the olive oil, and sprinkle the salt into the center of the well.
- Use a fork to gently whisk the eggs, incorporating flour from the edges gradually.
- Once too thick to stir, use your hands to fold the flour into the egg mixture, forming a shaggy dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover it, and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
- Cut the rested dough into four equal pieces.
- Choose your method: use a pasta maker or rolling pin and knife to shape the pasta.
Notes
For best results, use ’00’ flour for a soft yet sturdy dough. Allow resting time for optimal elasticity.
