Homemade Pasta is the ideal choice for your favorite Italian dish. Making fresh pasta at home is easier than you might think!  Take a handful of simple ingredients, and transform them into one of the most beloved foods ever created!

Homemade Pasta

semolina flour

all-purpose flour

eggs (lightly beaten)

Using your food processor, mix together the flours and salt....pulsing a few times.

Slowly add the eggs to the food processor.

Slowly add the oil, and then water with the food processor on.

Once the dough turns into a ball, stop the food processor.

Flour your hands, and pull out the dough

On a floured surface, roll the dough into a ball. With a knife, divide the dough into quarters and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 15 minutes.

Take one dough quarter at a time, and on a floured surface, using a rolling pin, gently roll out the dough into about a 2-inch by 4-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick.

Fold the sides into each other, like folding a letter.

Roll smooth again with a roller and then fold the sides in again.  Flatten to 1/8-inch with roller.

Place your pasta roller on the widest setting (0) or (1).  Feed the folded pasta through.  If the pasta shreds, press the dough back together and form into a rectangle again.  Fold in sides, and put through roller again. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times, until pasta is smooth.

Trim the egdes of the pasta to make a smooth sheet of pasta.

Begin tightening the pasta settings.

Continue putting the pasta though the roller until you've reached the 3 setting.

If you want cut pasta, such as spaghetti, angel hair, linguine, or fettucine, replace the pasta roller with the desired pasta cutter attachment.

Put the pasta through the roller, catching the pasta with your hands as it is fed through.

Place the pasta on a large baking sheet, sprinkled with semolina. (this will keep the pasta from sticking to each other).

Bring a pot of water to a boil, with about a tablespoon of Kosher salt.

Once boiling, add the pasta.

Cook, stirring, for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Drain.

Serve immediately, or dry for 24 hours before storing, or freeze. (See FAQs for more on this).
