I just made this recipe this morning. I weighed my OO flour after measuring out the two cups. AMAZINGLY the 240 grams was actually less than the two cups I measured and sifted!
Also…I mixed my eggs and oil with the broad beater of my Kitchen Aid for two minutes then changed to the dough beater and added my flour slowly. I turned it out and kneaded just a few more minutes with my hands….which I love to do but at 82 and with arthritis in both hands and wrists I can’t knead as well as I used to. Wrapped and set it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and proceeded to make vermicelli and fettuccini with my Atlas 150 pasta machine!!
It turned out perfect! Thank you, Chef! The OO flour is so soft and pliable. I really loved using it!

John, you’re best baking/cooking teacher on YouTube. You teach us so much with each recipe. I just love your channel. Every baker and cook should subscribe to you. A wealth of knowledge that you are passing on to each of us. I’ve always been terrified of making my own pasta but in such a short time you’ve given me the confidence to try it. You’re the best! Teaching is definitely in your blood…..love you! XxXx 🇬🇧💕

I have never made my own pasta, but I feel like kneading bread dough is the most relaxing therapeutic thing ever

[gemiem]

I tried this recipe and your techniques and the process was flawless. Had been meaning to make my own pasta for the last 10 years and finally did it yesterday!

Pro pasta tip: As soon as it comes together, let it rest for 30 minutes. You'll be able to roll it out much easier then. Gluten develops as the dough hydrates (without kneading). The kneading doesn't develop gluten, it stretches it.

I know you have to have a certain presence for the camera but I LOVED when you were like “who ever is categorizing these eggs is STRAIGHT TRIPPIN” the street ! Lol

[CK-gguy]

Looks delicious! I'd love to see some cooking/baking technique videos such as how to use a water bath properly, how to brown butter, how to temper chocolate, how to make lollipops/sugar candy etc. Can't wait to try this recipe!

My Mom would make unsweetened thin crepes in a skillet or crepe pan, roll each one up and slice the same way you do to get the strips. She would then drop them into a bowl of broth she made and you'd have instant soup. You can of course add vegetables to the broth to make it heartier, but as a kid, I loved the simplicity of the plain crepe soup. I can now see that you can just take some freshly made pasta and simmer that in a broth too.
Thanks for reminding me I need to use my hand crank pasta machine again and showing us your recipe for the pasta dough.

[DebsShipley]

I love the tips for people like me for when we mess up. Can't wait to try this out.

THANK YOU JOHN! I just made pasta from scratch for the first time on my own. I learned in cooking class in highschool how to make pasta from scratch but forgot and you helped refresh me on that note. Made some fettucine aglio e olio with some chicken on the side

[DavidHall-genn]

I've made my own pasta for years. NEVER pene! Only you, John. Only you. Ah-mazing!

[rwsaline]

[georginatellechea]

You are so charismatic. I just enjoy your voice and the way you explain not only the recipes but the tips and history behind them. You really need to have a TV show!!!

[donjose]

It’s so much fun just by watching you turned the right flour into all shapes of pasta. Thank you so much!

[YaYaPaBla]

As I sit here at 3:50am eating a big owl of pasta.😄 I enjoy seeing handmade pasta, it’s a real craft.

[dawnwalmsley]

I absolutely love the way you explain the process. To know 'why' you are doing certain steps is helpful to be successful with your recipes. Thank you so much!

[adedow]

Oh John, where were you 5 days ago when I was making my own!?
I really need a go-to pasta dough recipe. Can't wait to try yours against the one I used! I've never been disappointed in a single recipe of yours.
