Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Pile the flour on a clean surface and shape it into a mound. Make a deep well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well and sprinkle the salt over them.
- Use a fork to whisk the eggs gently, then draw in flour from the inner edge of the well a little at a time until a shaggy dough forms.
- Use your hands to bring the dough together. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Rolling and Cutting
- Divide the dough into 2–4 pieces. Flatten one piece with your palm and feed it through a pasta machine on the thickest setting.
- Fold and pass it 2–3 times to even the sheet.
- Reduce the machine setting gradually until you reach your desired thickness. Trim the sheet to the size you need.
- Dust sheets lightly with semolina or flour to prevent sticking.
- Arrange them in a single layer while you finish rolling the remaining pieces.
Storage
- Lay sheets on a floured baking sheet to air dry several hours before stacking for freezing.
- If using the same day, let sheets dry briefly (10–20 minutes) to make handling easier.
Notes
These noodles can be stored or frozen for later use. For a rich, meaty lasagna, see filling tips for assembly guidance.
