Homemade Pasta Recipe Notes
Flour: If you have 00 flour (“double O flour”) on hand, it will create an even softer and chewier pasta. If not, all-purpose works too! Semolina Flour: A bit larger and more hearty, so it adds a bit more texture to the dough. If you don’t have any, substitute additional all-purpose or 00 flour. Salt: Brings out the flavor of the pasta. Eggs: Help bring the dough together. The extra egg yolk adds richness and color. Olive Oil: Adds great flavor to the pasta dough. Make sure to use a really robust (preferably unfiltered) olive oil. Water: Used to bring the dough together if it’s too dry. You shouldn’t need to add more than ¼ cup at the most!
