Homemade Pasta without pasta machine

Did you know you can make your own pasta by hand in less time than it takes to run to the store and buy it?? 3 ingredients - eggs, flour and a pinch of salt - is all you need. No pasta machine required (unless you want super thin pasta sheets or fine noodles).

Ingredient

Food ration :

1 serving

Cooking time :

30 mins

80-100 g

Durum semolina flour (or regular flour is okay too)

Egg

1/8 tsp

Salt

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Measure out flour and mix with salt. Beat egg in a separate bowl.

* Step 2

Add egg to flour and mix in with spatula or spoon until the dough begins to come together.

* Step 3

Dust a cutting board or other surface with flour. Remove dough from bowl and knead with palm of hand. If it starts to stick to the surface or hands, dust a little more flour.

* Step 4

Knead for 5-10 minutes until you form a ball of fairly smooth dough. Wrap with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes, or until you're ready to make.

* Step 5

Dust your rolling surface with flour again and roll out dough with a rolling pin.

* Step 6

Roll into thin sheets. Leave in big sheets for lasagna or ravioli.

* Step 7

Or, cut into noodles of desired length and thickness. Just make sure to dust with plenty of flour so the noodles don't stick together!

* Step 8

You can make extra and freeze! You can freeze pasta for up to a month, but it should be cut into shape before freezing. Again, make sure it's dusted with plenty of flour so pieces don't stick together. Drop directly into boiling water when cooking frozen pasta.

* Step 9

To cook, boil in plenty of water with a spoonful of salt or do. Start checking after a couple minutes for desired softness. It shouldn't take too long...mine took about 4 minutes.
