Homemade Pasta
Ingredients
- 65g of Matthews Tipo 00 flour
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 120ml cold water
Instructions
- Combine flour and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour, and add the eggs.
- Gently begin to mix the eggs, gradually drawing in flour with each stroke. Form a stiff dough.
- Knead the pasta dough for 8-10 minutes.
- Add a 1/2 teaspoon of water if the dough is too dry and won’t stick together. If it is too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
- Cover the well-kneaded dough tightly with plastic wrap, and allow it to rest for around 45 minutes.
- After the resting period, divide the dough into four portions.
- Roll each portion of dough out on a well-floured surface and then cut into thin strips. The thickness of the pasta can vary depending on your preference.
- Once the dough has been cut into thin strips, you can either cook your pasta right away (3-4 minutes in boiling water) or dry it and store it in a freezer.
