This is my first ever attempt at making pasta from scratch (without pasta rollers)! I don't know how good the results are, but i think they're good enough for beginners like me

The shapes of the pastas above are fetuccine, linguine, farfalle, pappardelle, and some "I came up with my own shapes cuz anything else is too hard to do, at least they look alright" lmao

Pasta dough ecipe?? Ehhh I use 2 cups of flour (300 grams I think?), some three eggs, pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of oil i think. Adjust the flour accordingly if your dough is too hard or too soft (add water if it needs it i think)

Combine 'em all into a weird looking ball of yellow whitish dough in a medium bowl (screw the flour well method I'm too squeamish lmao) and then knead it for about ten minutes until it springs back when you poke your finger on it. Rest it for no more than thirty minutes.

(Oh and don't forget to flour your work surfaces before you roll or knead the dough or it gets quite sticky and annoying. AND sprinkle some flour on your pasta after it's cut into noodles or it would also stick to each other.)

As mentioned above, I don't use any pasta rollers or machines for shaping and flattening the dough. All of that work is done by hand with a rolling pin. You need to flatten it until you can barely see your hand through the pasta (it should be thin enough!). Then cut and shape your pasta into any shape you want.

I should also mention that it's quite a workout kneading and rolling the pasta manually by hand . Feels like my biceps and triceps are getting bigger now.

Anyway, I'm feeling proud that my hard work turned out to be pretty good and not as bad as I thought. Fresh pasta is always way better than store brought ones, even better if you make it your own.

Thankies!
