Homemade Pasta Recipe
Ingredients
- 7 oz pasta flour (200 g)
- 2 egg yolks
- olive oil
- salt
Instructions
-
Pour the flour in a blender. Add the egg yolks, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
-
Pulse well and add some more olive oil or a few drops of water until you get a moist dough. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour.
-
Pour the dough on a clean surface, sprinkle lightly with some flour and start kneading it for a few minutes. Wrap it in cling film and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
-
Sprinkle the pasta machine with flour. Cut the dough into 4 pieces. Wrap 3 of them again and put aside. Flatten 1 piece in the palm of your hand.
-
Dust the dough lightly and roll it through the pasta machine on the widest stand.
-
Fold and roll out again.
-
Repeat this a couple of times until the pasta sheet feels silky. After that, start making the dough thinner and thinner.
-
I go as far as stand 7 for ravioli and stand 8 for spaghetti or lasagna. Dust occasionally with some flour to avoid sticking. Cut in the shape you want. Keep the rolled out pasta under a clean but slightly moist kitchen towel while rolling out the rest of the dough. This will prevent it from drying out too soon.
