Have you ever tried to cook homemade pasta? It’s easier than you would have thought. You can serve it with a storebought sauce or go all-in and make your own, like this this butter-garlic sauce.
Pile the flour on your work surface. Pat down lightly on the flour mound with your fingers.
Combine eggs, oil, and salt.
Make a well in the flour. Add the egg mixture to the well, then knead together until a dough forms.
Place dough in plastic wrap and move to refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes to one hour.
Then, roll out the dough. Cut it into strips.
Add it to a large pot with boiling water and salt and let it cook for two to three minutes.
Add butter to a pan. Add garlic and cherry tomatoes and cook till tomatoes burst.
Fun activity Made half this recipe with my kids. It was fun, but really hard to roll it thin enough. After a bit of experimenting, this method seems to work the best without having a machine:
For half a recipe divide dough into 4 parts, and put two back in the fridge while working with the first half.
For each piece, roll out between to pieces of parchment paper and then continue pulling it thinner with your hands until you can see light through it all.
Cut into narrow strips.
Pull each strip slowly so it thins even more, and snaps, dropping each piece into boiling water as you go.
This was really good! If it isn’t super thin it takes much longer to cook and isn’t very good.
