Homemade Egg Pasta

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Egg Pasta.

1. Step 1

   Start by clearing a clean work surface and creating a cozy little mound of flour.

2. Step 2

   In the center of this flour mountain, make a small well.

3. Step 3

   Crack your eggs and egg yolks right into that well, then drizzle in some olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt for flavor.

4. Step 4

   With a fork in hand, gently stir the egg mixture, slowly pulling in the flour from the edges of the well.

5. Step 5

   Keep mixing until the dough starts to come together, forming a lovely, cohesive ball.

6. Step 6

   Now it’s time to get your hands involved! Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, working it until it feels smooth and elastic—this is where the magic happens.

7. Step 7

   Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.

8. Step 8

   This resting period is crucial; it allows the gluten to relax, making your dough easier to work with later.

9. Step 9

   After the dough has rested, unwrap it and divide it into four equal pieces.

10. Step 10

    Take each piece and roll it out with a rolling pin to your desired thickness.

11. Step 11

    If you have a pasta roller, pass the rolled-out dough through it to create your favorite noodle shape.

    Enjoy the process and savor the anticipation of the delicious pasta you’re about to create!.
