Homemade Pasta Recipe
This Homemade Pasta Recipe whips up tender, golden noodles from scratch with just four simple ingredients—no pasta machine needed. Transform pantry staples into a restaurant-worthy meal in no time!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour or 00 Italian flour for extra silkiness
- 3 large eggs at room temperature (use pasture-raised if you can)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil I love California Olive Ranch
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt Morton’s Kosher is fine
- 1/4 cup semolina flour for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Measure and mound the flour on a clean countertop, forming a crater in the center. Sprinkle salt over the flour.
- Crack eggs into the flour well, drizzle in olive oil, and whisk gently with a fork until mixture starts to come together.
- Use your hands to knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
- Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide the dough into four pieces, flatten each piece, and feed it through a pasta maker or roll by hand to desired thickness.
- Boil fresh pasta for 2–3 minutes until al dente, then toss with your favorite sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
Sift flour for lighter dough, use room-temp eggs, customize with variations like spinach or beet-infused noodles. Store fresh pasta in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
