Homemade Lasagna Noodles

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Lasagna Noodles.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering all your ingredients on a clean, spacious work surface, setting the stage for your culinary adventure.

2. Step 2

   Next, pour the flour onto a marble or wooden surface, creating a cozy well in the center.

3. Step 3

   Crack the eggs into this well and sprinkle in a pinch of salt, adding a touch of flavor right from the start.

4. Step 4

   With a fork in hand, gently beat the eggs, allowing them to mingle with the flour until the mixture takes on a runny consistency.

5. Step 5

   Now, grab a bench scraper and begin to fold in the remaining flour, working until a dough ball forms.

6. Step 6

   If the dough feels a bit too stiff, don’t hesitate to add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the perfect texture.

7. Step 7

   Once your dough is ready, it’s time to knead! Flatten, stretch, and fold the dough towards the center, rotating it 45 degrees after each fold.

8. Step 8

   Keep this rhythm going for about 10 minutes, until your dough transforms into a soft, smooth ball.

9. Step 9

   Shape it into a neat ball, place it in a bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap.

10. Step 10

    Pop it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour, allowing it to firm up nicely.

11. Step 11

    When the dough is ready, divide it into three equal portions.

12. Step 12

    Take one piece and gently flatten it with your hands.

13. Step 13

    Dust your work surface with flour, and roll out the dough using a rolling pin.

14. Step 14

    Remember to turn it 45 degrees and roll again, continuing this process until the dough is incredibly thin—you should be able to see your fingers through it when you hold it up to the light.

15. Step 15

    Now comes the fun part! Cut the rolled-out pasta into rectangular sheets that will fit your baking dish, using a pastry wheel or knife.

16. Step 16

    Once you’ve cut your sheets, transfer them to a floured kitchen towel and let them air-dry for about 30 minutes.

17. Step 17

    This little drying time will help your lasagna sheets hold their shape beautifully when you assemble your delicious creation.

18. Step 18

    Enjoy the process and the delightful aroma of fresh pasta filling your kitchen!.
