How to Make Homemade Pasta, Without Machine
----------------------------------------------------------------
In this Piatto™ video recipe, an Italian grandma ('Lulu') demonstrates how to make fresh homemade pasta without machines of any kind, using just a rolling pin! Here, Lulu makes a standard Italian egg pasta dough, then rolls it to less than 1 mm using a rolling pin and cuts it into tagliatelle pasta. Making homemade pasta without a machine is easy when you have a video recipe like this one.
Looking for a long rolling pin like Lulu's? They can be hard to find in the US. Here's an affordable 19" from Amazon: amzn.to/2QlhvhQ

Making fresh homemade pasta without a machine isn't hard, but does require patience and know-how. While you can use a pasta machine to stretch the egg pasta dough, here Lulu uses a large rolling pin to stretch the pasta dough to less than 1mm thick. Traditionally, fresh tagliatelle pasta needs to be between .6 mm and .8 mm thick.
The width of each tagliatelle pasta noodle should be about 7 mm. After cooked, the fresh tagliatelle noodles will swell to about 8 mm wide.
Fresh tagliatelle pasta needs to cook only about a minute in boiling water. Handmade tagliatelle pasta dried for one day will need about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
This fresh homemade pasta freezes well. To freeze, divide into 4 equal portions on a flat surface covered with semolina flour. Place uncovered in the freezer for a few hours. When the pasta noodles are frozen, cover with plastic. Frozen fresh homemade pasta should still take less than 2 minutes to cook to al dente.
Italians know that when it comes to pasta, grannies know best! Our pasta granny has been making all kinds of pasta for her family for decades. For more from 'Lulu,' be sure to subscribe to our channel :)

you know you're in the right place when you see an Italian grandma. i CAN'T wait to finally make my own. 😁

It's always a pleasure watching someone do something well.

Her hands are like my mother's. I miss her so much. Thanks for the video.

[@PiattoRecipes]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Very sorry to hear your mother is no longer with you.

[@PakIlloni]

I rather learned from a real Italian woman like her than someone who doesn’t know what they are doing with fresh dough.

[@vaslav030547]

If you want a long rolling pin like Lulu's. Don't spend a fortune, just buy a broom or mop handle from your local hardware shop , cut it to the size you want (You might even get two out of it) Give it a good clean with fresh lemon juice and away you go!

[@PiattoRecipes]

Great tip!

[@Javaman92]

Better yet, buy the larger wooden rod used for hanging clothes. No finish to worry about and it closer to the diameter they usually are.

[@feliciabarosa2553]

Like watching my mother ❤

[@TeacherMom80]

Wow. SO awesome! Thank you, Grandma LuLu! I just spent 4 hours making home made pasta, which is RIDICULOUS! The reason it took do long is because I dont have a rolling pin like Grandma Lulus, so I literally stretched every single noodle strand by hand! Im going to make one from my broom handle. Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I appreciate it very, very much! God be with you all. 💖🙏🏼🤗

This is good, but I also learnt a lot by applying some of the traditional techniques for hand rolling thin dough which Japanese use for Soba which is capable of making it not just thin but into a square shape

Thanks

nice

[@HannahBear-bx7um]

This video was super informative! I used too much flour using another recipe. This one gives a lot of great advice. I'll try again!

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hi Hannah! The key, as Grandma demonstrates, is to start by pulling in about 3/4 of the flour called for and adding more as needed. Let us know how it goes!

The part where she was rolling the dough reminded me of the Pacer test 💀

[@kifacorea]

Also nice asmr 😂

[@cathychats]

Can I used the same Doug for other pasta such as ravioli?

[@PiattoRecipes]

Yes, you can! If you prefer a slightly more 'al dente' texture to your final cooked dough, this other recipe on our channel will deliver that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/parZXqhpqpWmorc

[@MarkSmith-cp8hv]

If you want a more rich in color pasta use pasteurized eggs it makes a great difference ❤️❤️

[@dpelpal]

The thing they don't mention here is the board she is rolling the pasta on. It's unfinished wood and gets "impregnated" with flour....which makes the process MUCH easier. If you try to do this on a typical American countertop (formica, finished concrete, stainless steel) it will be far more difficult.

[@PiattoRecipes]

Grandma Lulu says the process works for her on other surfaces as well :)

[@dpelpal]

@@PiattoRecipes I've just noticed nearly all the Pasta Grannies use unfinished boards....I make pasta a lot and wish I had one!

[@raniayacoub1770]

Can a kitchen aid machine work as good?

[@PiattoRecipes]

You can use a stand mixer. Be sure to start by adding just 3/4 of flour recommended and add more slowly as needed till you reach the consistency shown. It’s easy to add more flour, but harder to correct a dough that is too dry :)

[@raniayacoub1770]

@@PiattoRecipes oh nice thanks so much Chief!

[@chechoaus]

Did she put olive oil as well?

[@PiattoRecipes]

Lulu does sometimes add a drop of olive oil (no more than 1 teaspoon for pasta for 4).

[@chechoaus]

@@PiattoRecipes Thank you!

[@SirWampus]

Hello guys. I tried making this at home but when I boiled it. It wasn't cooking, I boiled for abt 20 minutes for my pasta and it was just soggy and had a squishy taste. If you can help me please do so I'd really appreciate it

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hi there! The water should be boiling vigorously before you add the pasta (lots of bubbles and activity). You can see how vigorously for a moment in this video (minute 2:00): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqTCfYJqqbSFrtE However, we will plan to release a video soon on 'how to cook pasta' for those who may wonder what exactly 'boiling' means for pasta and how to know if it is done. Also, fresh pasta only needs a minute or two-much less than dry pasta which still never needs more than about 10 minutes max to cook it to 'al dente', depending on the pasta. Fresh tagliatelle prepared properly only needs about a minute. So, that explains why your pasta was too soft. We appreciate the question! It lets us know what videos we should add in the future for those who may be totally new to cooking pasta. If you haven't already, subscribe (it's free) and click the bell for new video notifications. :)

[@jayjdietrich]

Rolling pin? Looks like a curtain rod to me! Don't be messing with Italian grandmas!

[@trinidadmontgomery6282]

okay i made this it’s literally resting as i speak and honestly i don’t think i did it right, maybe because i used all-purpose flour so i’ll check back and update

[@PiattoRecipes]

All purpose flour is fine. Just remember there is no set portion of egg to flour. It's always best to add about 3/4 of the flour recommended and add more as needed until reaching the consistency shown in the video. Let us know how it went!

[@lauratempestini5719]

At 9 minutes is that a serrated knife. It would be good if you could explain any uncommon terms such as Tallitelli

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hi Laura- It wasn't a serrated knife, but a very long and sharp one. We will review the subtitles to see if any corrections should be made to make things clearere. The term you are referring to is 'tagliatelle' (a pasta similar in size to fettuccine). You may find the written guide on our website to be useful: www.piattorecipes.com/fresh-egg-pasta-dough-recipe/

[@nunyabizness9104]

Just curious can’t u not mix it in a bowl instead of me spilling all over the place lol

[@PiattoRecipes]

Great question! In fact, you can (see the spinach pasta in our lasagne bolognese video as an example). Just be sure to add just 3/4 of the flour called for to the bowl at first and only add more flour if needed.

[@nunyabizness9104]

@@PiattoRecipes thank you for your reply & great video btw.

[@jamesclayton9177]

I don't get it, my pasta always tastes raw still after cooking after a minute. It seems to be about the right thickness too.

[@PiattoRecipes]

Hi James-Italians like their pasta 'al dente' (which literally means 'to the teeth' or with a bit of bite. Could it be that's what you might be interpreting as 'raw'? By Italian standards, other countries tend to really overcook their pasta.

[@jamesclayton9177]

@@PiattoRecipes hi thanks for the reply! It’s less of a texture thing and more about the taste. When i cook it much longer that raw dough taste goes away but i suppose i’m just not familiar with how fresh egg pasta is supposed to taste

[@Dragon34th]

That grandma is not allowed to do that. Cooking is only for men.
