Homemade Pasta

In this tutorial I will show you how to make pasta dough with just 2 main ingredients. All we need is flour and egg. No pasta machine needed. This easy homemade pasta dough recipe is also small batch. Perfect for two portions.

📝 Ingredients

• 150 g flour
• 1 egg
• 15 g water (optional in case the dough is too stiff)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place 150 grams of flour, 1 large egg(50 grams) into a bowl.
2. 2Bring together the ingredients making sure the flour has taken up the moisture.
3. 3Form a rough dough ball and wrap it up to rest and fully hydrate for an hour.
4. 4When hydrated and well rested. Place the dough onto a slightly floured surface. Roll it out a bit and then cut it into two manageable pieces.
5. 5Next, we will start rolling and stretching the dough.
6. 6This rolling and stretching action structures the dough up and gives it that lovely velvety smooth texture.
7. 7As your roll keep the dough tight with your other hand. Fold it back on itself and then press it down with your fingers as seen below.
8. 8Repeat the rolling and stretching step until the pasta is nice, thin and almost see-through.
9. 9Once your homemade pasta is rolled out nice and thin, it's time to cut it.
10. 10At this point, you could roll it up and then cut it into tagliatelle, pappardelle, or linguini.
11. 11I prefer a more rustic uneven look and like just laying out the sheets of pasta and cutting into 1,5 cm strips.
12. 12Dust the cut pasta dough generously with flour until you are ready to cook it.
