There’s nothing wrong with store-bought pasta. However, when you taste freshly made noodles, you’ll definitely notice a difference. It’s more tender and holds a signature bite.

While it feels like a luxurious yet tedious chore, making your own pasta isn’t as hard as you may think. You don’t even need a fancy pasta machine. Here’s how to make pasta at home from scratch:

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour

• 3 eggs

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Tools

• Rolling Pin

• Pasta Cutter

Instructions

1. Pour two cups of flour on a clean, flat surface and create a round well in the center.

2. Crack three eggs in the center of the well. Then, add salt and olive oil. Whisk the eggs, salt and olive oil with a fork.

3. Gradually stir in the flour until all is combined. Then, use your hands to knead the dough into a ball for 10 minutes.

4. Once you’ve formed a ball, cover it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

5. Use a rolling pin to roll dough flat — try to get it as thin as possible.

6. Cut ends of dough to form a rectangle shape, then roll dough into an even log.

7. Then, starting at one end, slice the log to form noodles using a pizza cutter, knife or pasta cutter.

8. To cook, boil your pasta until it’s tender. (Note: It will take less time than dried pasta.) Then, prepare it however you’d like and enjoy.
