My Homemade Pasta!

It is so easy to make pasta!!

I cheat with a pasta maker from Italy.
You can roll it out and try to use your hands - bad looking food still tastes good!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour (any kind you would prefer!)
• 1 egg
• splash of water
• <no salt!!!> salt ruins machines - just don't use it!
• Multiply ingredients for more dough!

Tools:
mixer
pasta maker (can roll out dough if you dare!)

Start:

1. In a large bowl mix in one egg for every cup of flour (one cup serves 1 person).
2. Add a small amount of water until dough is less firm and able to stretch.
3. Take a small handful of the dough, flatten the dough with machine or roller until pretty thin (thickness is different for each type of noodle - do not rip dough!)
4. Hang or lay on fresh surface for up to only 15 minutes or else dough will get hard.
5. fFatten rest of dough.
6. Immediately cut the dough and create noodles:
7. Run sheet of dough through machine at whatever setting (thickness of noodle) you prefer.
8. Hang up or lay noodles flat. Do not stack noodles, they will stick together!
9. No need to wait: place in boiling water until noodles float (30 seconds - 1 minute) - remove immediately.
10. Can place uncooked fresh pasta in fridge for a couple days in a sealed container to hold in freshness.

Add whatever sauce you like to make the pasta taste delish! Try my home made marinara sauce: http://mycookingisamazing.blogspot.com/2016/11/marinara-sauce.html

My Italian friend - Luca Petricca 

Just two small correction... 

1.For "Tagliatelle or Fettuccine" (noodles) you should not use water at all...just flour and eggs...
2. try to use "all-purpose flour" and avoid "pastry flour" (which is mainly used for cakes).

You can also p

repare a similar type of Pasta by using only FLOUR and warm WATER (same procedure that you described but no eggs)...it's very popular in south Italy and has many different names (Maltagliati, tagliolini, Stringozzi etc....)

So... Buon Appetito .. :)
