Homemade Egg Pasta

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Water, as needed

Method:

Prepare the Dough:

• On a clean surface or in a large mixing bowl, create a mound with the flour.
• Make a well in the center of the mound and crack the eggs into it.
• Add the salt to the eggs.
• Gently beat the eggs with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides of the well as you go.
• Continue mixing until the dough starts to come together.

1. Knead the Dough:

• Use your hands to bring the dough together into a rough ball.
• If the dough is too dry, add a little water (a teaspoon at a time) to moisten it.
• If the dough is too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour and knead it in.
• Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

1. Rest the Dough:

• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a damp cloth.
• Let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax and makes rolling out the pasta easier.

1. Roll and Cut:

• Divide the rested dough into smaller portions.
• Take one portion and flatten it slightly with your hands.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. You can make it as thin as you like for delicate pasta.
• If you have a pasta machine, you can also use it to roll out the dough.

1. Shape the Pasta:

• Once the dough is rolled out, you can cut it into your desired pasta shape. You can make fettuccine, tagliatelle, pappardelle, or even shape it into ravioli or tortellini.

1. Cook the Pasta:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
• Carefully add the fresh pasta and cook for 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the pasta. Fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried pasta, so keep an eye on it.
• Taste to check for doneness. It should be tender but still have a slight bite.

1. Serve:

• Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and immediately toss it with your favorite sauce. You can use a simple tomato sauce, creamy Alfredo sauce, or olive oil and herbs.
• Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.

Enjoy your homemade egg pasta! It's a delightful treat that's worth the effort.
