How to Make Simple Pasta Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until light and frothy.
- Gradually add the flour, a little at a time, mixing with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Form the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Divide the dough into four equal parts. Using a pasta machine (or rolling pin), roll out each portion to your desired thickness. For lasagna, roll very thinly; for fettuccine, a medium thickness works well.
- Cut the pasta into your desired shape. Lasagna sheets can be laid flat to dry slightly before cooking. Fettuccine should be hung to dry for about 30-60 minutes.
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes, or until al dente. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your pasta.
