How to Make Pasta From Scratch (2-Ingredient, Easy Recipe)
A basic recipe for how to make pasta from scratch. Homemade pasta is so easy and delicious!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 5 large eggs
Instructions
- Pour flour onto a clean counter, shape into a mound, and make a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well, and beat lightly with a fork, drawing in some flour as you go, until the eggs are mixed and slightly thickened. Use your hands to blend into a smooth dough. If it feels crumbly, add water as needed.
- Knead the dough until satiny and very elastic, about ten minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Set pasta machine's rollers to the widest setting. Pinch off a piece of dough, lightly flour it, and pass it through the rollers several times, folding it over on itself each time and dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Set the rollers one notch closer and repeat the process two to three times, until the dough goes from lumpy and/or holey to smooth and satiny.
- Continue to notch the rollers closer together and roll the pasta to desired thickness, 1/32 inch for ribbon pastas such as fettuccine, and paper-thin for filled shapes.
