HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE PASTA



How to Make Homemade Pasta image

Making homemade pasta in Italy is an ancient art: from the fresh pasta sheet you get tagliolini or tagliatelle, ravioli or tortellini and the everlasting lasagna. It does not take long to make a good fresh homemade pasta: 15-20 minutes for a nice smooth and elastic dough, 30 minutes of rest, 15 minutes to roll out... in about 1 hour fresh homemade pasta is ready

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

200 g (1 ½ cup) of 00 soft wheat flour
200 g (1 ½ cup) of durum wheat flour
4 eggs of at least 70 g (2,5 oz) each

Steps:

  • Place the flours on a work surface and create a hole with your hands. For those who are making homemade pasta for the first time we recommend using a bowl because the job will be easier. Split the eggs and put them in a bowl then pour the eggs into the hole.
  • With the help of your hands, mix the eggs with the flours, incorporating a little at a time, until everything is combined. Knead the pieces of dough together.
  • After ten minutes, make a big ball and wrap it in a cling film. Let it rest for 15/30 minutes.
  • Make sure that your pasta maker machine is clamped firmly to a clean surface. Dust your work surface with some durum wheat flour. Take a lump of pasta dough the size of a tennis ball and press it out flat with the palms of your hands. Roll the lump of pasta dough through the widest setting of your pasta machine. Remember to dust the pasta dough with durum wheat flour if you feel it's becoming sticky.
  • Fold the pasta dough in half and then again in half.
  • Roll again the sheet of pasta dough through the widest setting of the pasta machine. Repeat the process for 3/4 times. You have to work the dough till it's smoother. Finally, you can start to roll the dough through all the remaining settings of your pasta machine, from the widest to the narrowest.
  • So now you have long strips of fresh pasta dough that you can use for different types of pasta, like tagliatelle, tagliolini or lasagna.
