Ingredients
Pasta Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs Use egg substitutes if needed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Water (as needed for dough consistency)
- Semolina flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preparation
- Place the flour on a clean surface or in a mixing bowl, then make a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into this well and add the salt.
- Using a fork, gradually stir to mix the flour into the eggs until the dough starts to form.
- Knead the mixture for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic, adding water if necessary to achieve the right texture.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Rolling & Shaping
- Once rested, roll the dough out thinly using either a rolling pin or a pasta machine.
- Cut the rolled-out dough into your desired shapes such as tagliatelle or farfalle.
- Dust the cut pasta with semolina flour to prevent any sticking.
Cooking
- Cook your fresh pasta in boiling salted water for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness, then drain and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate leftover pasta for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze pasta in a single layer then transfer to a freezer bag for up to a month.
