Easily make fresh tagliatelle at home with our simple pasta machine recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups (360g) 00 flour
  • 4 large eggs (208g excluding shell weight)
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Water, as needed
  • Semolina flour, for dusting
Instructions:
  • Create a well in the flour: On a large wooden cutting board or work surface, mound the flour and use your fist to make a wide hole in the center. Pour in the eggs, olive oil, and salt. Whisk together with a fork until well combined.
  • Work the dough until it forms a shaggy mass with wet and dry spots, then knead it with your hands until smooth.
  • Work the dough until it comes together in a rough mass for 3 to 4 minutes. Clear away any leftover flour on your work surface, clean your hands, and keep kneading until the dough is soft, smooth, and not sticky for 6 to 7 minutes. A few textured areas are fine, but ensure it is mostly smooth without any dry patches.
  • Allow the dough to relax: Wrap it snugly in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours at room temperature (or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before bringing it back to room temp for rolling).
  • Prepare the dough: Sprinkle semolina flour on a large baking sheet. Divide the dough into 4 equal sections. Work with one section at a time, keeping the rest covered in plastic wrap. Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness using a rolling pin. Pass the dough through the widest setting of a pasta machine twice. Fold the dough like an envelope, seal the edges by rolling, and create a rectangle. Continue passing the dough through incrementally narrower settings until it forms a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick.
  • Prepare the pasta: Sprinkle the sheet with a touch of semolina flour. Fold the dough loosely into an accordion in 4-inch segments with the short end facing you. With a sharp knife, cut the stack into 1/4-inch strips. Unravel each strip into a long strand or gently shake the strips to unroll together if well coated with semolina. Dust lightly with more flour, then shape 8 to 10 tagliatelle strips into a nest and place on the baking sheet.
  • Adjust your pasta machine to the widest setting. Roll out the remaining sections of dough through the pasta roller and cut them into tagliatelle.
  • To cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta nests and cook for 1 to 4 minutes until al dente. Transfer the cooked pasta to a saucepan with your favorite sauce and toss to coat. Serve immediately. To store the pasta: Line an airtight container with semolina-dusted parchment paper and store uncooked pasta nests in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, dust each nest with semolina flour and freeze on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 1 hour. Transfer the frozen nests to an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month. Cook from frozen (may take an additional couple of minutes). Enjoy!
