Homemade Pasta

 Homemade Pasta

edited down from https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/05/fresh-spinach-pasta/ 


2 eggs

2 egg yolks

220 grams all purpose flour

1/3 teaspoon salt

tiny tiny drops of water only if needed (I added about 1.5 teaspoons)


  1. In the large glass mixing bowl, mix flour and salt.
  2. Make a well in the middle and add in the egg yolks and eggs.
  3. Stir, stir, stir to combine.
  4. Dump on counter and knead 1-2 minutes until combined. If it's very flaky, add water. If it's too wet, add flour. Err on the side of too dry.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes covered in plastic wrap.
  6. Knead for 5-8 minutes more until smooooth.
  7. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it nap for 1 hour.
  8. Divide into fourths. 
  9. Run each ball of dough through on level one, folding the dough in half after each round, until sheet is smooth and about as wide as roller.
  10. For spaghetti, roll the sheet through twice on 3, then twice on 5 producing a thin sheet ready to cut.
  11. Set on a lightly floured surface and let it sit as your roll the other dough balls.
  12. Change pasta head for the cutter.
  13. Cut the sheets into your desired pasta shape--place back on the lightly floured counter spreading the noodles out carefully so they don't stick together.
  14. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 2-3 minutes until cooked and slightly al dente.
