Easy to Make Homemade Pasta Dough Recipe

Learn how to make homemade pasta from scratch in just 1 hour and only using 3 ingredients right from your own kitchen.

Homemade pasta is infinitely better than anything that comes from a package and I’m going to show you why!

Ingredients for this recipe:

560 grams 00 or All-Purpose flour (4 cups + 3 tbsp)
140 grams semolina flour (3/4 cup + 1 ½ tbsp)
7 eggs

Serves 12
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Resting Time: 30 minutes
Procedures:

1. Sift together the flours onto a clean surface and then form a well with it.
2. Add the eggs to the center of the well and whisk with a fork until combined and then slowly begin to add in the flour from the edges.
3. Once the egg and flour are combined use a pastry knife to scrape the surface to bring it all together to form a dough.
4. Knead for 12 to 15 minutes before wrapping in plastic and chilling in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
5. Remove the plastic from the dough and cut it into 3 pieces.
6. Flatten 1 of the pieces of the dough with your hands and flour it lightly. Run it through the hand crank pasta maker on the 0 setting 3 times. Cut the dough in half.
7. Turn the crank to 3 and run it through 3 times.
8. Last, run it through on setting 6 twice. Dust with flour and place on a clean surface. Repeat the process with the remaining 2 dough balls.
9. Cut the dough ever 12”-14” inches long, dust it with flour on both sides and then run it through the spaghetti attachment or whatever desired noodle attachment you’d like. Dust again with flour and form it into a small ball and place it on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and rest it for 15 more minutes so that it dries out a bit before cooking or storing.

CHEF NOTES:
• Do not use just semolina or kamut flour as the dough will be too hard.
• Rule of thumb is 1 egg per 100 grams of flour or heaping ¾ cup of flour
• You can also dry your pasta on a drying rack.
• STORING AND FREEZING HOMEMADE PASTA: After the pasta has been rolled into little balls and dried for 10-15 minutes cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also freeze wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months. If you are freezing you can add straight to boiling salted water from the freezer to cook.

The fact that you saved a little just for us who can’t get fancy supplies. This was my first video on your channel and now I really wanna just start cooking! ♥️

the best recipe ever. its already my third time doing it. I totally recommend this recipe!

I’ve made this a few times - it’s amazing. My only added bit of advice would be to have an 8th egg beaten on the side. If dough just isn’t coming together the way you’d like you can drizzle in moisture from that 8th egg until you just get to the consistency you want. It really helped me match up to what Billy’s dough looks like in the video.

I made pasta last night for the FIRST time. It was soooo good. I've always loved cooking and creating new dishes, but you inspired me to step out of my comfort zone! My husband was IN LOVE with it and went in for a third helping!

Finally made the pasta! First time was not a success. I didn't have a pasta machine and couldn't get the dough rolled out thin enough. Second time around I purchased a pasta machine $40.00 and it was a success!! Thank you!

[jb]

I love that you always show us alternatives...from ingredients to techniques to kitchen utensils. For those of us who don't have a pasta machine, thank you for showing us the rolled up pasta method. I truly appreciate that you try to reach as many people as possible. One day, I swear I will try to make my own pasta. LOLOL

Billy, I’m 100% Italian and this is exactly the way my nana made it. Excellent video. The others I’ve found, have not been up to par. 💕

This dude is brilliant. This is now my go-to pasta recipe. His other videos are really good, too.

[PepitaBlue]

After so many pasta dough fails finally success! Thank you! And also thank you for that useful trick of 1 egg/100 g flour - best tip of all. Will really help with those larger batches.

I love this video. It's simple, direct to the point without 20minutes of nonsense talking. Good stuff.

I stayed at an Air BnB with a retired chef in Florence last January. He gave a lesson on making pasta. This is how they do it in Tuscany. They also have a certain number of yellow vs orange yolk eggs for the color. They add a little olive oil and salt. But it's semolina and 0. This is as close as you can possibly get in the US to what he was doing. And I'm sure this will yield excellent results. Thanks for sharing this!!!

I made this tonight!!! So delish with your flour combo, 00 and semolina served over ground Briskit meat sauce. I kneaded 8 plus 8 with a 5 minute break.

[alicededominicis]

I just made ravioli with half of your recipe. Delicious! Thank you.

[marshio]

I'm so happy you saved the older method for people like me, I really do appreciate that. 💙

So, I'm no cook or anything, but I wanted to thank you for this video!
As weird as it sounds, I'm an aspiring author and, as a writer, I find myself learning new skills because of the research I do. This video helped me get my facts straight for a scene I was writing, so thank you!

[CS-ffux]

I've been looking for a really good pasta recipe and came across yours. Made it for Easter. It was a big hit. Excellent recipe Chef. Now that I have extra time, I'll be trying your biscuit, pretzel and bread recipes. So excited. Cheers from Canada. 🇨🇦
