Homemade Pasta Recipe
Description
This Homemade Pasta Recipe combines 3 cups of all-purpose flour with 4 large eggs to form a pliable dough on a clean surface. The flour is mounded with a well in the center where the eggs are added. Using fingertips, the flour is gradually incorporated into the eggs until fully combined. Kneading by palm develops the dough into a smooth, yellow ball.
The dough requires at least 30 minutes of refrigeration under cling wrap to rest and allow gluten development, which is important for elasticity and handling. After resting, the dough is divided into portions for rolling and further shaping. A slight addition of water is suggested if the dough feels dry during mixing.
The result is a basic fresh pasta dough suited for various types of pasta, from sheets for lasagna to cut noodles or filled pasta. This foundational dough allows for versatile pasta preparation at home using minimal ingredients and effort.
Ingredients
- 3 cups (15 oz/426 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 large egg 1 cup/8 oz/225 g
Notes
- Use 4 large eggs to provide enough moisture for the dough; alternatively, 5 small eggs can be used.
- Rest the dough covered in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 18 hours for best gluten development.
- Add a small amount of water if the dough is too dry when combining flour and eggs.
