Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Tagliatelle Pasta Without a Machine.
Step 1
Begin by preparing a clean marble or wooden surface, then mound the flour and create a deep well in the center.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into this well and sprinkle in a pinch of salt.
Step 3
With a fork, gently whisk the eggs, gradually drawing in the flour from the edges until the mixture transforms into a runny batter.
Step 4
Next, employ a bench scraper to gather the remaining flour, working it into the mixture until a cohesive dough ball forms.
Step 5
If the dough feels too firm, add water one tablespoon at a time until you achieve the perfect consistency.
Step 6
Knead the dough by flattening it, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center.
Step 7
Rotate the dough 45 degrees and repeat this kneading process for about 10 minutes, until the dough is soft and smooth.
Step 8
Once kneaded, shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap.
Step 9
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
Step 10
After chilling, dust your work surface with flour and divide the dough into three equal portions.
Step 11
Take one piece, flatten it slightly, and roll it out with a rolling pin.
Step 12
Roll it out 5 to 6 times, then turn it 45 degrees and continue until the dough reaches a thickness of about 1/16 inch.
Step 13
Cut the rolled-out dough into sheets, dust them generously with flour, and roll them into a cylinder.
Step 14
Slice the cylinder into 1/4-inch thick strips to create tagliatelle.
Step 15
Unroll the strips and toss them in flour to prevent sticking, then let the pasta air-dry for about 30 minutes.
Step 16
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 17
Add the tagliatelle and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender yet al dente.
Step 18
Drain the pasta and serve it with your favorite sauce, savoring the fruits of your labor.
Step 19
Enjoy the delightful experience of homemade pasta, a true testament to culinary craftsmanship.
