Flour, eggs, salt: that's all you need to make fresh pasta at home. This is the simplest and most authentic Italian recipe you'll find to make homemade pasta like lasagna, ravioli, tagliatelle, tortellini... you name it! The best part is you don't even need a pasta machine if you don't have one!
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups Italian-style tipo 00 flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
-
1
Place flour on a marble or wooden work surface. Make a well in the center and crack in eggs; add salt. Gently beat eggs using a fork, incorporating the surrounding flour, until mixture is runny. Pull remaining flour into the center using a bench scraper, incorporating it until dough forms a ball.
-
2
Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is soft and smooth, about 10 minutes.
-
3
Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
-
4
Roll out the dough with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin and cut into your favorite pasta.

Summer Pasta Salad
This is a summer noodle salad that my mom makes. It's even better the day after.
Chicken Broth in a Slow Cooker
This crockpot recipe for whole chicken soup makes broth for use in other recipes. Because it's made in the slow cooker, you don't need to fuss with it. I like to use breasts and wings, but any bone-in pieces will make a nice broth.
Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Casserole
This Instant Pot cabbage roll casserole is a variation of my "tried and true" stuffed peppers recipe. Serve with additional cooked rice, if desired.
