Making fresh pasta from scratch is easier than you think! Chef Scott Biffin’s classic homemade pasta recipe brings authentic Italian flavors to your kitchen with just a few simple ingredients. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned cook, this step-by-step guide will help you craft the perfect pasta.
Ingredients:
To make the dough, you’ll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 large eggs, ½ teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil (optional). If the dough feels dry, you can add a little water, one teaspoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
Instructions:
Start by creating a mound of flour on a clean surface and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add salt and olive oil, and gradually mix everything together with a fork. Once the mixture becomes shaggy, use your hands to knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.
After resting, roll out the dough using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until it reaches your desired thickness. Cut it into your preferred shape—fettuccine, spaghetti, or even lasagna sheets. Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta for just 2–3 minutes until tender.
Drain the pasta, toss it with your favorite sauce, and enjoy a delicious homemade meal. With Chef Scott Biffin’s expert method, you can elevate your home cooking with fresh, flavorful pasta every time! 🍝✨
