Make Your Own Pasta!
Pasta is something lots of us eat all the time but have you every thought about how it’s made? Our simple recipe will taglia-tell-you how it’s done!
Ingredients
- 300g flour plus extra for dusting (we recommend 00 or semolina flour)
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Add the flour to a large bowl. Knead in the eggs one egg at a time until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too dry add one more egg, too wet add more flour.
- Tip the dough onto a floured work surface and knead for 5-10 mins.
- Wrap the dough in clingfilm and leave to rest, ideally in the fridge overnight.
- Following this roll out the dough. This can be done using a pasta machine or with a rolling pin (however, a rolling pin takes a lot of effort!).
- Shape the dough. Pasta comes in many shapes and sizes, cut the dough into long strips for tagliatelle, shape into bow-ties for farfalle, or get creative and make your own shapes!
- Boil the pasta- Add the pasta shapes to salted boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes. Get an adult to help you as this will be hot!
