Description

This homemade pasta recipe yields fresh, tender tagliatelle that is simple to make and infinitely rewarding.

Ingredients

Units Scale

10.5 oz (300 g) all-purpose flour
3 eggs
Pinch of salt
2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Sprinkle the flour combined with a pinch of salt onto a clean working surface.
Make a well in the center of the flour mound and crack the eggs into it.
Add the olive oil to the eggs in the well.
Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and olive oil, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well.
Once the mixture becomes too stiff to mix with a fork, use your hands to bring the dough together.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
After resting, roll out the dough using a pasta machine or a rolling pin to your desired thickness.
Cut the pasta into your preferred shape, such as tagliatelle or fettuccine.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness, until al dente.
Drain and serve with your favorite sauce.

Notes

For best results, use a pasta machine to achieve even thickness. Letting the dough rest is crucial for easier rolling and better texture. Store any uncooked pasta in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage. Pair with a simple olive oil and garlic sauce or a rich tomato sauce for a classic Italian meal.
