Description
A deceptively easy recipe for homemade pasta! See tips above on how to mix and cut noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 and 3/4 cups all purpose flour, semolina, or “00” flour, or a blend of those
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon table salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and pulse for about 15 seconds until large crumbs form. Add extra olive oil if dough is too dry, or extra flour if dough is too wet.
- Remove the dough and knead together until a ball is formed and everything is incorporated together.
- Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap. Rest at room temp for 30 minutes, or in the fridge for up to 8 hours.
- Cut the dough into fourths. Roll out each piece into a sheet using a pasta roller or rolling pin. Laminate the dough 3 times by folding the sheet in half and rolling it through the machine at the widest setting.
- Reduce the settings on your pasta roller one by one, rolling the pasta through each time, until at your desired thickness. Set sheets aside, sprinkled with flour so not to stick.
- Cut the pasta into your desired shape, either with the cutting attachment on your pasta roller or by hand. Sprinkle nests of noodles with flour so they don’t stick.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season liberally with salt. Add pasta to water and cook until noodles are al dente and look slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Drain noodles and use immediately with your favorite sauce!
