How to make fresh pasta at home?
I tasted pasta pretty late, since then I was always wondering how do they make all kinds of pasta. So I tried pasta recipes. After that I wanted to make pasta noodles/pasta types myself at home and thus I finally searched videos for making fresh pasta at home. Here is my version for the same. Its pretty easy, yeah it does take little time but trust me its really worth to make and eat fresh pasta at home.
Simple thumb rule for making fresh pasta is using 1 egg for 100gms of all purpose flour. Eggs must be at room temperature or else dough would turn into disaster :)
Ingredients:
1 Large egg (Room temperature is a must)
100 gms all purpose flour
pinch of salt
Method:
Make sure your work surface is dry and clean. Put flour on work surface and dug a little well in it.
Break egg into this well and start beating up egg in same well with help of work. We don't want to beat it very well just make sure yellow and white is properly mixed. Start incorporating little flour at a time, and keep mixing. Mixture shall start thickening up, once this happens start kneading with both hands. Form a nice ball of dough, knead for about 15 minutes. Wrap up ball in cling film and keep aside for about half hour.
You can refrigerate (not frozen) it as well, just make sure dough comes to room temperature before working on it.
Your fresh pasta dough is ready. Knead dough for a minute or so and roll it down either in pasta machine or on work surface with rolling pin. Use some flour if dough is sticking to work surface. Roll it until its about 2mm thick, then cut in your desire shape. Thin stripes, thick stripes, lasagna sheets etc.
