What You'll Need

Making homemade pasta is easier than you might think, but there are a few tools and ingredients you'll need to get started.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil

Pinch of salt

Tools

Mixing bowl

Rolling pin

Cutting board

Knife

Step by Step Guide

Making your own homemade pasta is easy and fun. Here's a step-by-step guide to making it at home.

Step 1: Make the Dough In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Mix together until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough Lightly flour a cutting board and rolling pin. Divide the dough into 4-5 pieces. Roll out each piece of dough until it's about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3: Cut the Dough Cut the dough into strips that are about 1/2-inch wide. If desired, you can also use a pasta machine to roll and cut the dough.

Step 4: Cook the Pasta Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for about 4 minutes, or until al dente. Drain the pasta and serve with your favorite sauce.

Recipes

Now that you know how to make the dough, you can start experimenting with different flavors and shapes. Here are a few of our favorite recipes to get you started.

I didn't get asked to dance even once at our parish's Halloween dance last night but I did get a 14 year-old girl tell me that she loved my costume so much that she wanted my permission to use it in a movie that she will make someday. And then she asked for a picture with me because she wanted a copy for reference. And let me tell you, having a teen girl think you are the bees knees really is the best

So... dinner was nice. We enjoyed the experience. But Wax had a carbonara dish, which he has been learning to make from scratch (pasta included) with Uncles Wax and Max. He's been learning how to make it because it is his favourite dish.

Yeah - it was quite disappointing tonight, and we asked him how it was and he said "a bit bland" (which is DAMNING from a kid who usually finds nice things to say about everything - complete opposite of Max). But he was dead on (we all tried it). Needed both salt and pepper, and some more parmesan for the sharpness.

Anyway, Hubs went up to pay and the hostess (owner) asked him how everything was, and he asked her if she wanted brutal honesty.

(Those of you who know Hubs, he is a sarcastic MF and can be very cutting with his tongue - Max gets it from him in SPADES).

Anyway, she said yes, and then Hubs said that while the entree was delicious, and three of the mains were equally great, the pasta was really disappointing and then he said "one of my sons can cook a better carbonara then that". He then went on to say it was edible, and not bad enough to send back. Just disappointing.

Then we find out it's a new chef.

But yep, Wax had an interesting night in that he learnt that he can cook a meal better than a professional chef (with help from Uncle Max and Wax).

Conbini lasagna is back :| My husband is always compelled to try these somehow. I don't know how he can eat lasagna in this heat, or how he can eat this at all.

Half of my somewhat decent cooking skills have been attained by going "oh, well duh" and here's one of those moments from today's lunch that has proven extremely helpful when I want to make something appetizing without going all-out:

You can just doctor storebought pasta sauce to make it taste richer. Most of the stuff you add will already be in the sauce, but it still helps make it more to your liking.

Stuff I usually add, if I've got it on hand (you can do any combination of these or other spices, for real, just add whatever!)

-Butter. Man, it's a magical make-the-sauce-smoother thing.

-Sprinkle of onion powder and oregano

-Garlic. I like to melt a pad of butter down in the saucepan with a bit of minced garlic (the stuff that comes in a jar, but you can use any type), then I'll add the storebought sauce and the other dry spices.

-Here are the big two: crushed red pepper flakes and chili powder. A little kick makes any red sauce better imo, so shake a good amount of both in.

-Top with cheese and, if you can, some fresh herbs! Genovese basil is to die for.

That's it! Experiment! Taste as you go! Don't measure, just toss stuff in gradually until it tastes hella good and then use similar amounts next time. Go forth and impress your comrades with your cooking witchcraft, and don't feel bad if it takes a couple of tries to find what works.

You know that daunting task that you’ve put off for years that you think is gonna suck and take hours to do but ends up taking 10 minutes?

Yea I WISH it were like that, I just finished my daunting task and it was just as tedious and annoying as I thought it would be… if not worse. (Cause I don’t have the right cleaning supplies)
