Homemade Spaghetti Noodles from Scratch
Making spaghetti noodles from scratch with a simple recipe and a set of Kitchenaid pasta makers.
Equipment
- Pasta Roller
- Spaghetti Cutter
- Large Pot
- Dough Cutter
Ingredients
- 1½ Cups Flour I used all-purpose; semolina also works.
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Egg Yolk
- ½ Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Water
- ½ Tsp Salt
Instructions
- On a large flat surface suitable for kneading dough, make a pile out of your flour.
- Create a well in the center of the flour and add your other ingredients.
- Using a fork, stir the ingredients to work them together, gradually scraping at the sides of the well to incorporate the flour.
- Once it's too thick for the fork, switch to mixing and kneading by hand.
- Knead and knead until the dough is nicely worked. To check, press a thumb into the dough. If it mostly springs back, you're good.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four or so small portions.
- Feed a portion of dough into the rollers to press and thin it out. Fold it in half and re-feed it through, to continue kneading. Once the dough becomes pliable, narrow the roller gradually until it reaches whatever your setting is for spaghetti.
- Once your dough portions have all been flattened, switch to the spaghetti cutter. Feed them through to cut your spaghetti.
- To cook, simply add to boiling water in batches, cooking for about 1-2 minutes or to your preference for texture.
