This is by far the BEST, simplest recipe for homemade pasta out there. I came up with these proportions after tweaking a few recipes I had found in cookbooks.

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 egg
1 tablespoon water (cold)
1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 -2 cup white flour

Steps:

  • Recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. I usually make a LOT and store in the fridge.
  • Combine the first 4 ingredients and whisk together well with a fork.
  • Add 1/2°C flour and mix with the fork until all lumps are gone.
  • Keep adding flour little by little until a non-sticky ball is formed. (You will use between 1 & 1-1/4°C of flour, depending on the humidity, etc.
  • Knead WELL about 10 minutes. Add light coating of flour as needed, until a firm ball is formed.
  • Allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
  • Cut off billiard ball-sized pieces and roll them out flat on a well-floured board. (Maybe 1-2 mm. thick).
  • Fold thrice (3x) and cut noodles with a sharp knife roughly 4 mm. thick. - Similar to cutting soba noodles (Japanese buckwheat noodles) though with the thickness of udon noodles.
  • Stretch out pasta and let dry (either hanging or on a plate) for a few minutes up to an hour.
  • Cook in a pot of boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes or until the pasta floats to the top.
  • -->Super delicious with olive oil, crushed, raw garlic, salt and parm. cheese, but can be combined with any sauce. This pasta really holds onto sauces, unlike commercial dried pastas.
