With just 2 ingredients, flour and eggs, use this pasta dough recipe to make make any fresh pasta shape you like; pappardelle, fettuccini, ravioli and more. It's an all purpose dough. For timing, the process is broken up into 3 parts: making the dough, rolling the dough into pasta sheets, and cutting the pasta into noodles. Tips shared below for using a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer, food processor and doing it by hand.

Ingredients

  • 300 g Tipo 00 Flour*
  • 3 large eggs*
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • Olive oil
  • Semolina flour, for dusting
  • Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer (w/ pasta roller attachment)
  • Pasta Machine
  • Rolling pin

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the flour to a large bowl. Make a well in the center; add the eggs and yolk.

  2. 2

    Dust your work surface with semolina flour. Cut the pasta dough into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, flatten the dough into a 6-8inch oval patty. Keep the remaining doughs covered in wrap otherwise they will dry out. 

  3. 3

    Before cutting, I like to dry my pasta sheets ever so slightly. This firms up the final texture giving the strands a more “leathery” finish, rather than a soft and doughy feel (this will prevent the pasta from sticking together later on).
