Homemade Pasta or Noodles Recipe

Italian · Main course · 33 min total

This simple recipe yields fresh, tender pasta or noodles that cook in minutes and taste far superior to store-bought versions. Perfect for any sauce or stir-fry.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Mound the flour on a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add olive oil and salt.
2. Using a fork, gradually whisk the eggs, incorporating the flour from the sides until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest for 30 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece through a pasta machine on progressively thinner settings, or roll out with a rolling pin to desired thinness.
5. Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes: tagliatelle, fettuccine, or pappardelle. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
6. Cook fresh pasta in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and serve immediately.

Tips

• For flavored pasta, add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, spinach puree, or squid ink to the egg mixture.
• Store uncooked pasta in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
• If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water; if too sticky, add a dusting of flour.
