Homemade Pasta Dough

🇮🇹 Italy

Servings: About 1 lb. Total: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 3 large egg yolks, beaten
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt (or 1/2 tsp Morton kosher salt)
  • Cornmeal or semolina flour, for dusting

Steps

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, mix eggs, egg yolks, flour, olive oil, and salt by hand until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Attach dough hook and knead on medium-low speed until smooth and elastic, 6–8 minutes.
  3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rest at least 30 minutes.
  4. Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal or semolina flour.
  5. Set pasta machine to widest setting and dust lightly with cornmeal or semolina flour.
  6. Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, keeping unused pieces wrapped in plastic.
  7. Flatten one piece into a narrow rectangle and pass through the rollers.
  8. Fold the ends of the dough to meet in the center, fold in half, and run through the rollers again.
  9. Continue passing dough through rollers without folding, narrowing the machine setting one notch after each pass, dusting with cornmeal if sticky, until dough is about 1/16 inch thick (setting 8 on most machines).
  10. Transfer rolled pasta sheet to the prepared baking sheet; repeat with remaining dough pieces.
  11. Cut pasta into desired shapes.
  12. Dough can be made 1 day ahead and kept chilled.

Notes

Alternatively, dough pieces can be rolled out lengthwise with a rolling pin until 1/16 inch thick if no pasta machine is available.
