Easy Homemade Pasta Without Machine

Making homemade pasta without machine is SO easy! With only 4 ingredients, pasta from scratch is ready in under an hour.

I do love my Kitchenaid pasta attachment, but you can easily make pasta without one. All that is required is a little elbow grease to knead and roll out the dough.

Homemade Pasta Ingredients

To make this pasta dough recipe, you will need the following ingredients (see the recipe card below for exact amounts):

• all purpose flour
• sea salt
• eggs
• olive oil

How to Make Pasta Without a Machine

1. Place flour and salt on a working surface. Make a well in the middle. Crack eggs and pour oil in the well.
2. Slowly bring the flour inside the well and mix with your fingers or a fork. Form in a dough and knead for 5 minutes.
3. Cover with a plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll each dough flat with a rolling pin.
5. Fold the dough then cut pasta with a very sharp knife. The width depends on how you like yours. I like to cut about 1/4 inch.
6. Add water and salt to a pot. Boil the pasta for 8 minutes.
