Description
Haven’t got a pasta machine but still want to try homemade pasta? This is the recipe for you! All you need is flour, eggs, salt, and a rolling pin. And, of course, some time to have fun!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Italian-style tipo 00 flour, plus additional for dusting
- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon water, or as needed
Instructions
- Place flour on a marble or wooden work surface. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs; add the salt. Gently beat eggs with a fork
- incorporating the surrounding flour
- until batter is runny. Bring remaining flour into the batter using a bench scraper until dough forms a ball. Mix in water
- 1 tablespoon at a time
- if dough feels too stiff.
- Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball
- stretching it and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is soft and smooth
- about 10 minutes.
- Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm
- 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Dust work surface with flour. Divide dough into 3 equal portions. Flatten 1 piece a little and roll out 5 to 6 times with a rolling pin. Turn dough 45 degrees and roll 5 to 6 times. Continue rolling and turning until dough is 1/16-inch thick.
- Cut dough into a sheet. Dust generously with flour and roll into a cylinder. Slice cylinder into 1/4-inch thick strips. Unroll strips and toss generously in flour. Let tagliatelle air-dry
- about 30 minutes.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. Drop in tagliatelle and cook until tender yet still firm to the bite
- 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
