This is a delicious variation of a simple recipe for pasta that I learned abroad. I think it's perfect for beginners. The chewiness of homemade pasta is the best. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Since pasta dough sticks easily, dust it with flour. Feel free to use cake flour, bread flour, or a half-and-half combination of both. I serve 50 g per serving. Once you can make this dough, you can enjoy pasta in a variety of shapes and textures. Recipe by mini

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 100 gramsBread flour (or cake flour)
  2. 1 tspOlive oil (or vegetable oil)
  3. 1Egg
  4. 1/3 tspSalt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a spatula with a cutting motion from the bottom of the bowl.

  2. 2

    When the dough becomes crumbly, incorporate the remaining flour while pressing into a ball. If it doesn't come together well, add a small amount of water.

  3. 3

    Dust the work surface, then use the palms of your hands to knead well until the surface of the dough becomes smooth. While incorporating the dusted flour, adjust the consistency to the firmness of your earlobe.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough in two, wrap in plastic wrap, then let sit for more than 15 minutes. I recommend preparing the pasta sauce at this time. You can either freeze or refrigerate the pasta dough.

  5. 5

    Dust your work surface, then press the dough into the surface with your palms. Roll the rolling pin over the dough in an "X". Then, roll the dough up diagonally on the rolling pin (wrapping it on as you go), and the dough will become rectangular.

  6. 6

    When the dough is about 2-mm thick, dust it with flour. Fold it in thirds, then cut into 6-mm thick noodles. They will expand when cooked, so they should be on the narrow side. Random widths are also okay.

  7. 7

    Separate the noodles, then coat in flour. Boil in a generous amount of boiling water with an appropriate amount of salt. Stir only 2 or 3 times.

  8. 8

    Tip: Flat-type pasta finishes boiling 1 to 3 minutes after it rises to the top of the boiling water. Short pasta should be cooked through to the middle until they become chewy. Boil the pasta immediately before serving.
