HOMEMADE ITALIAN PASTA NOODLES RECIPE



Homemade Italian Pasta Noodles Recipe image

Our Homemade Italian Pasta Noodles Recipe is delightfully fun to make and it's pantry friendly too!

Provided by Created by CookingwithRuthie.com

Categories     Pasta

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ounces all-purpose flour (3.5 ounces or 100g per person)
4 large eggs, room temperature (1 egg per person)
3-4 quarts cold water
1 1/2 tablespoons salt (for boiling)

Steps:

  • • Homemade pasta can be adjusted according to how many people will be eating- the ratio is 3 1/2 ounces flour to 1 large egg. • Have a rolling pin, knife or pasta cutter, and additional flour nearby to work with dough. • Start with a clean work surface then mound the flour creating a large well in the center to place the eggs. • Crack the eggs into the center and break the yolks for ease in mixing. • Start to mix the dough by bringing the outside edge of the flour into the center of the eggs. • Work quickly in this same way to being the dough together before the eggs can run away! • Knead for 4-5 minutes until smooth and elastic, set on freshly lightly floured surface, cover with plastic wrap to rest for 30 minutes. • Check for elasticity by poking the dough to see the indentation release. • Divide dough into 4 pieces, working them one at time, and roll or use pasta machine to sheet pasta into 4×10 inches rectangular shapes. • If you have a pasta sheeter it will make this process easier- we used an attachment for a kitchen aid mixer. • Keep hands, dough, and counters lightly floured. • Thinly slice with pasta cutter or knife, tossing with a small amount of flour, and piling in small nests to be cooked. • Roll out the homemade pasta by hand using a rolling pin instead of a pasta machine. • Roll out the dough, and rotate it constantly: turn 90 degrees and then flip it it over. • Be sure to keep your work surface, hands, and rolling pin are lightly floured- always! • Continue this process until you have a pasta sheet of the desired thickness, about 1 millimeter or less. • Bring 3-4 quarts of cold water to boiling, add 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, cook 3 minutes for al dente. • Serve immediately with your favorite sauce! ** Noodles freeze very well and easily- just lay flat to freeze and then package for long term storage.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pasta will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality cheese, and authentic Italian pasta.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for pasta. It should be cooked through but still slightly firm to the bite.
  • Use a large pot: When cooking pasta, use a large pot so that the pasta has plenty of room to move around. This will help prevent it from sticking together.
  • Salt the water: Before cooking the pasta, salt the water generously. This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from becoming bland.
  • Add the pasta to boiling water: Always add the pasta to boiling water. This will help to prevent it from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Stir the pasta occasionally: While the pasta is cooking, stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking together. This is especially important for long pasta shapes, such as spaghetti and fettuccine.
  • Drain the pasta: When the pasta is cooked, drain it immediately. Do not rinse the pasta with cold water, as this will stop the cooking process and make the pasta gummy.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to hold the pasta for a short period of time, toss it with a little olive oil to prevent it from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Pasta is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a pasta dish that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, you're sure to find the perfect recipe in this collection.
