How to Make Homemade Pasta Dough
First, in a large mixing bowl, mix together all-purpose flour and salt. Then whisk in the eggs. Mix until the eggs are mostly incorporated. Then add in the water.
Next, add the flour/ egg mixture into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture starts to come together in large chunks or crumbles.
I love to use a food processor because it makes this process much easier. Here’s the link to the one I use!
The pasta dough should hold together when pressed, but the dough shouldn’t be sticky. You want a firm dough.
Cover the pasta dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 – 30 minutes so that the dough is easier to work with.
Your pasta dough is now ready to be used in your next pasta recipe!
You can roll the pasta dough out really thin to make linguine, ravioli, or lasagna. If you have a pasta roller you can make spaghetti as well!
When you are ready to cook your pasta, boil it for 3 – 5 minutes.
Homemade pasta is easy to make from scratch and is a staple in our home, and it can be in yours as well! Enjoy!
