Consistently great and easy pasta dough. This makes really great homemade linguine or ravioli for a manual pasta machine. If its too sticky, just roll a bit in flour. This recipe makes enough pasta for 24 small raviolis or 4 servings of linguine. Whatever pasta you make should take no more than 4 to 6 minutes to boil.

Made this tonight without the machine, just rolled out by hand for ravioli's. Despite my husbands doubt the whole family loved it! Hooray I can make my own pasta!!! Also I used regular old vegetable oil as i was out of olive oil. Was wonderful! Read More

I didn't end up needing to use water and dough was a touch sticky but still worked when dusted with flour before rolling and cutting. But pasta tasted a bit too eggy Read More

Easy dough to make. This is my sixth time making it and I got a little adventurous and added garlic infused oil, and it has upped the flavor. Great for first time pasta makers! Read More

I omit the water and add an additional egg to add creaminess to the pasta. it always has great bite, and every now and then I add tumeric for a rich yellow color. my picky wife eats it right up. Read More

I followed the directions as written and used the dough to make spinach/mushroom ravioli and it was perfect! The consistency of this dough worked well with my KitchenAid pasta attachments--much better than the pasta recipe that comes with the gadgets! Will use for all my homemade pasta recipes! Thanks for sharing. Read More

I found this very easy to work with. The only change that I made was using "00" flour, just as I usually do. Well, two changes actually, I didn't knead the dough, I never do because I let the KA do the work. I set the dial to #3 and put each portion through several times, folding it in on itself each time. I then set the dial to #5 and put it through once, then use the fettuccine cutter.Perfect pasta, thanks for the recipe. Read More

I followed the recipe as written. With the Kitchenaid pasta attachment to flatten the dough. There was enough to slice spaghetti and linguini. Even my picky eating kids liked them! Delicious!! Read More
