Making pasta is a simple and satisfying process that requires only a few basic ingredients. Here's how to make pasta at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of salt
Instructions:
- Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and crack the eggs into it.
- Use a fork to beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the sides of the bowl until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or a pasta machine to the desired thickness.
- Cut the pasta into the desired shape using a knife or a pasta cutter.
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and serve it with your favorite sauce.
