Easy Pasta Dough Recipe

[@jandramardges3368]

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!

[@chevypreps6417]

Nice work.........I have a kitchen Aid and was wondering if you can kneed pasta with it.

my 19yo son just gave me a pasta maker for Christmas, you're the first video I've seen. love how simple you make it seem. will definitely research more on flours. thank you for an informational yet not too long video.

John, you’re best baking/cooking teacher on KZbin. 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 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!

[@jetlaggedchef6806]

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've been wanting to make pasta for a long time now and this weekend I finally did! It was so easy and fun to make but the pasta turned out so good! I could eat them with just some butter; but we used them for your shrimp scampi recipe and it was amazing. I am definitely going to be making this pasta often.

[@lucyakata3621]

I used to think making pasta was difficult, but with your coaching, I know I'll definitely try it out! Thanks so much for all you do!

[@donjose06]

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

[@islandgal500]

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.

00 flour can be hard to find sometimes. When I’m in a pinch I will use bread flour. I find making pasta very soothing and calming. One of my favorite things to do.

@@jaellenwarren1895 It’s easy to find in the Detroit area because we have a lot of great Italian markets. When I lived in GA it was harder to come by and I would often want to make it on a whim. It wasn’t so easy unless I planned ahead.

Hi John, not sure if you're reading/answering any questions on here. I'm just starting today to make fresh pasta. Your video is FANTASTIC! I do have some questions: 1. You said 240 grams or two cups of flour. I've always heard it's better to weigh flour, so is there a difference in weight of 2 cups of flour if you use "00" or semolina flour? 2. Can the KitchenAid be used to mix the dough or is it better to do what you have done with the well and slowly add the flour into the eggs? 3. I bought a KitchenAid press attachment to make different pasta shapes like penne. Is there a difference in which flour is better ("00" or semolina) based on pasta shape?

[@DennyZimmer]

Excellent video @preppykitchen Chef John. I need to halve your recipe. QUESTION: How should I cut the egg quantity in half, please? Also, instead of using the fork mixing method, I prefer to use my triple loop Danish dough whisk in a slopped stainless steel mixing bowl (less countertop mess and easier bench scraper mixing/folding. I can’t see buying another kitchen gadget so will need to hand roll,

"bronze cut" refers to the very old molds that the pasta is pushed through to yield the desired shape of the pasta one wants. Some of these bronze "dies" are over a hundred years old.

[@LarryMitros]

Hi John! I love this video! I just started making my own pasta last week, and it's been so fun and this video is very helpful. It's came out good, BUT, I must say my dough doesn't seem to form as nicely as yours. And was wondering if you, or any other user here, could offer some tips? So to give some background of how I'm making the dough. I'm using a ratio of 100g of flour and 55g of egg (without shell) (ratio from a book called Pasta Grannies I received for christmas). I'm using regular all purpose flour. So I've tried 400g of flour and 220g of egg, as well as 200g of flour and 110g egg. I then add the salt and olive oil as you show here. So here's where some of my struggles are coming in. 1) As I'm beating my eggs in the well, and try to start drawing flour in, it's not forming the nice thick mixture that you're getting. As I start breaking down my well to get the flour mixed in to the egg, the eggs start trying to escape, and then I'm left trapping run away egg with my bench scraper and pulling it back to the flour. 2) when I get to the point where I can start needing with the bench scraper and fold in the flour, it's not as together. There's still a decent amount of flecks and pieces that are coming off. I end up having to use my had to essentially cup some of those fragments back into the dough. 3) When I get to be able to hand knead, there's still a few flecks here and there that come off in the beginning, and my dough seems firmer and not as easy to knead as how it looks as you're doing it. My final product when I'm done kneading is ok, it has bounce to it, but it's definitely not as smooth and completely free of cracks as yours. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

[@LarryMitros]

Update, ok I think I figured out the issue: Patience! Tried it again today, this time brought the flour in to the egg more gradual, and eventually my egg mixture in the middle got thicker and then could start folding the the rest of the flour into the egg without fear of the eggs breaking out of the nest and running.
