From Scratch: How to Make Your Own Pasta Dough
Ready to take your pasta game to the next level? Making your own pasta dough from scratch is easier than you might think. With just a few simple ingredients and techniques, you can create delicious fresh pasta that is sure to impress your friends and family.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Pour the flour onto a clean surface and create a well in the center.
- Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt to the well and beat together with a fork until fully combined.
- Gradually mix the flour into the egg mixture, using your hands to knead the dough until it comes together in a smooth ball. This should take around 8-10 minutes.
- Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using it.
When you’re ready to use the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Then, use a pasta roller to roll out the dough into the desired shape and thickness. You can also use a rolling pin and a knife to cut the dough by hand.
There are endless ways to enjoy your fresh pasta, from a simple butter and cheese sauce to a heavy meat-based ragu. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!
So there you have it – your own homemade pasta dough, made entirely from scratch. Give it a try and surprise yourself with how easy and delicious it can be.
