Homemade Egg Pasta consists of merely 2 components; eggs and flour, cooking in just 5 minutes, and it will quickly become the preferred pasta on your plate.

Cut and Drying Egg Pasta

Delightfully Simple Homemade Pasta

If you’ve ever fantasized about crafting homemade egg pasta from the ground up, this 2-ingredient pasta formula will transform your perception of fresh noodles. With solely flour and eggs, you can produce a smooth, delicate dough that cooks in mere minutes, and tastes significantly superior to any commercially produced pasta.

Fresh, nutritious, and devoid of additives, this represents real Italian comfort food at its core. Best of all, you only need a straightforward and reasonably priced pasta roller, a mixing bowl, a rolling pin, and a bit of counter space.

Economical, straightforward, and incredibly healthy, this is pasta as it was intended to be prepared.

Homemade Egg Pasta

Pasta has been present for quite some time, but who realized homemade pasta could be so effortless to prepare!

To think I’ve been purchasing pasta made from flour and water all these years, when I could have savored a nutritious, enriched pasta, since homemade egg pasta preserves more flavor and nutrients compared to store-bought flour and water pasta.

I was amazed by how quickly eggs and flour blended into a dough that could be rolled and shaped in any form I desired.

Thus far, I’ve only worked with straight-shaped pasta, as I haven’t yet tried crafting various shapes or stuffed pillows for ravioli, but first, we need the dough!

Pasta Dough Prior to Rolling

Pasta Machines

On my initial attempt at making pasta, I simply kneaded the dough until I could roll it as thin as conceivable for cutting.

Rolling pasta dough thin requires just patience, counter space, and ideally, a marble rolling pin, as they are more substantial.

I managed to buy an attachment for my stand mixer that was surprisingly affordable, given the efficiency it provided.

Wow, what a significant impact it had!

Pasta Dough, Machine Rolled

I also acquired a pasta rolling machine that did not attach to an electric mixer.

It clamped securely to the edge of the countertop and featured a hand crank.

It operates better than a rolling pin, though not as swiftly as an electric attachment. Still, it’s a huge assistance!

A pasta machine also greatly aids in rolling out dough to prepare Homemade Crackers, which I prefer to create for my charcuterie boards, either simple olive oil crackers or elaborate Carta di Musica Crackers adorned with herbs and flowers pressed into the dough.

Homemade crackers can be prepared and baked in under 30 minutes and are as delightful as the flavors you choose to incorporate into the dough.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2-Ingredient Pasta Formula</h2>

Have you ever examined the ingredients listed on a package of store-bought pasta? Flour and water, typically.

Who wouldn’t prefer those two ingredients to be eggs and flour? I certainly would, and I wouldn't feel apprehensive about serving my family pasta frequently during hectic work weeks.<!– Ezoic – wp_longest_content – longest_content –><!– End Ezoic – wp_longest_content – longest_content –>

Once an egg pasta is prepared and set out…

The pasta requires resting and drying for an hour, while immersing it in a pot of salted boiling water only takes 5 minutes to become tender.<!– End Ezoic – gen_incontent_5 – incontent_5 –><!– Ezoic – gen_incontent_5 – incontent_5 –>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Eggs and Flour For Pasta</figcaption></figure>

I created this pasta to complement various soups, whether with meat, seafood, or simply a robust vegetable broth.

However, truthfully, I would enjoy this egg pasta with merely a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, some fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of grated cheese!<!– Ezoic – wp_incontent_5 – incontent_5 –><!– End Ezoic – wp_incontent_5 – incontent_5 –>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Creating Fresh Egg Pasta From Scratch</h2>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Affordable Pasta Rolling Attachment</figcaption></figure>

I have attempted the traditional Italian method of arranging a mound of flour on the counter, cracking the eggs into the mound, and combining the flour and eggs into a dough.<!– End Ezoic – gen_incontent_6 – incontent_6 –><!– Ezoic – gen_incontent_6 – incontent_6 –>

It requires time, is somewhat untidy, but it is effective.

Subsequently, I have also tried the American approach of combining the flour and dough in my food processor or stand mixer until it transforms into a rollable dough.<!– Ezoic – wp_incontent_6 – incontent_6 –><!– End Ezoic – wp_incontent_6 – incontent_6 –>

Both methods are equally effective.

The primary challenge lies in rolling the dough thin enough to achieve the desired texture, and that is where a pasta machine simplifies the task.<!– End Ezoic – gen_incontent_7 – incontent_7 –><!– Ezoic – gen_incontent_7 – incontent_7 –>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pasta Flour</h2>

While fancy-shaped pasta, which requires more elasticity for shaping, might perform better with alternative types of flour; for a simple, straight-shaped pasta, all-purpose flour is perfectly sufficient.

Gluten, present in processed wheat flour, provides the elasticity and strong binding properties.<!– Ezoic – wp_incontent_7 – incontent_7 –><!– End Ezoic – wp_incontent_7 – incontent_7 –>

For intricately shaped pasta, you might want to use a flour that is either higher in gluten content or of a finer powdered texture for more delicate forms.<!– End Ezoic – gen_incontent_8 – incontent_8 –><!– Ezoic – gen_incontent_8 – incontent_8 –>

Homemade Garganelli Pasta is the most intricate variation I have attempted, and it is stunning, adheres well to sauces due to its ridges, and is rolled out just like this egg pasta.

Semolina flour boasts larger particles and a coarse texture, whereas 00 flour is milled to a finer consistency.<!– Ezoic – wp_incontent_8 – incontent_8 –><!– End Ezoic – wp_incontent_8 – incontent_8 –>

Both of these flour varieties are commonly sought after for pasta making.<!– End Ezoic – gen_incontent_9 – incontent_9 –><!– Ezoic – gen_incontent_9 – incontent_9 –>

For the basic, almost rustic pasta I have prepared here, all-purpose flour is all you require. I have not yet ventured into gluten-free flour, but I do plan to.

Homemade Garganelli Pasta

Nutritious Egg Pasta For Soup

Can you conceive a better soup on a frigid winter day than one made from a slowly simmered Homemade Bone Broth and fresh egg pasta? I certainly can’t.

Add vegetables, some protein, and this will swiftly become a beloved soup during winter. How can you go wrong with an Italian Chicken Soup!

Cold soup in the sweltering summer? Certainly! Egg pasta, once cooked, served in a bowl of Seafood Stock alongside a bit of crab, clams, or mussels, provides a substantial cold summer soup.

4-Minutes and Done

Ingredients Required

Pasta Flour (or all-purpose flour) – Simple and adaptable, all-purpose flour provides homemade pasta with the perfect combination of strength and gentleness. Its moderate protein content aids in forming a dough that’s easy to knead and flatten, sturdy enough to retain its form, yet soft enough to cook into delicate ribbons or sheets. Additionally, it’s a pantry essential, making this pasta as approachable as it is authentic.

Eggs – The essence of fresh pasta. They impart richness, color, and a texture that store-bought pasta cannot replicate. The yolks contribute a subtle golden tint and natural fat, providing the dough with elasticity and a decadent mouthfeel. Moreover, eggs enhance protein and flavor, transforming a simple mixture of flour into something truly exceptional.
Salt (Optional) – A sprinkle of salt enhances the dough’s flavor, lending each strand an extra layer of character. Some traditional Italian recipes entirely omit it, preferring to season the cooking water instead, but including a hint directly in the dough can elevate its savory qualities. It’s a personal touch, and that’s the charm of homemade pasta, you make it your own.

Equipment Required

Stand-mixer that also accommodates all the attachments essential for a range of culinary explorations, and I observe that egg pasta dough forms swiftly in a mixer or food processor, or alternatively, you can do it manually.

Pasta Roller attachment if you own a KitchenAid, or a Manual Pasta Machine which secures to the countertop for stability – these economical kitchen implements serve multiple purposes for pasta, crackers, flatbreads, and much more.
Rolling pin for flattening the dough just thin enough to pass it through the pasta roller.
Pastry Cutter – I utilize this for pasta, pie crusts, and homemade crackers.

Stock pot sufficiently large to permit pasta to simmer gently without being overcrowded, preventing it from sticking together.
Tongs or a pasta fork for gently maneuvering the pasta in the pot while cooking and for extraction.
Stovetop or burner for heating the pasta water.

2 Ingredient Homemade Egg Pasta

I am devoted to the delight of the senses, and so I have developed a passion for encapsulating the stimuli for my senses through videography and photography. Food serves as some of the most captivating subject matter to film, and videography captures what a still image cannot: sound. When you hear something sizzling or pouring, your taste buds and olfactory sense are already aroused.

I believe that the table… the space that invites people to gather, is the most potent emblem of unity. Everything occurring before the table is set, the organizing, the assembling, and the preparation, are all intricate elements of the choreography that engenders the atmosphere of festivity to share with friends and family.
