Fresh Pasta Recipe Silky Hand-Cut Noodles
- Total Time: 59 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
- Diet: General
Description
This fresh pasta recipe creates silky, hand-cut noodles that elevate any simple meal, offering a truly special family dinner experience that is both simple and quick to prepare at home. It teaches you to master the art of delicious, family-friendly fresh pasta from scratch.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose or “00” flour, for perfect texture
- 3 large eggs, for rich color and flavor
- 0.25 teaspoon (1.5g) salt, to enhance taste
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil, adds pliability and subtle flavor
Instructions
- Mix And Knead Dough: On a clean surface or in a food processor, combine flour, eggs, and salt until a shaggy dough forms. Knead by hand until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes), until the dough feels firm but pliable.
- Rest The Dough: Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This crucial step makes rolling easier and creates tender, silky noodles.
- Roll Dough Thin: Divide the dough into manageable portions. Roll out each portion very thin using a pasta machine (setting 6-7) or a rolling pin, aiming for transparency where you can almost see through the dough sheet.
- Cut Noodles: Gently fold or roll the thin dough sheet, then slice with a sharp knife into your desired noodle width (e.g., fettuccine, tagliatelle). Unfurl the noodles immediately and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook until al dente, usually 2-4 minutes for hand-cut noodles. They will float to the surface when done.
Notes
If the dough is too sticky during kneading, add a sprinkle of flour; if too dry, a tiny bit of water or an extra egg yolk helps achieve the perfect consistency. For the silkiest results, opt for ’00’ flour and fresh, organic eggs. This recipe can be adapted for gluten-free or whole wheat pasta by substituting the flour.
