How to Make Pasta Without a Machine (How to Make Fettuccine Pasta) |The Food-DEE BASICS

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Place 300 grams of all-purpose flour onto a work surface and make a well in the middle.

Crack in 3 fresh eggs into the well.

Add a pinch of salt and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the well.

Whisk the eggs slowly, incorporating the flour a little at a time while keeping the mixture inside the well.

Once the fork is not working anymore, use your hands to mix the dough together.

Knead the dough for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes a nice soft and springy dough.

Wrap the dough airtight and let it rest for 30 minutes on the counter or overnight in the refrigerator.

Lightly dust the work surface with flour and take the dough out of the plastic wrap.

Cut the dough in half and cover it with flour to prevent sticking.

Roll the dough out into a long sheet, folding it like a piece of paper three times while rotating it 90 degrees each time.

Roll the dough out thinly for the final roll, cutting it into strips for fettuccine or tagatelli.

Dust the rolled dough with flour before cutting to prevent sticking.

Cut the dough into strips using a sawing motion instead of pushing down to avoid sticking.

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for about 2 to 3 minutes, noting that it cooks quickly and is done when it floats to the top and is tender.
