Do you love pasta? Who doesn't? Have you ever made your own pasta though? Guess what? It's even better homemade! Now I won't lie to you. Homemade pasta is better but it is also a little messy and more time consuming than throwing your store bought pasta in a pot of boiling water. If you love to cook though, this project is for you. The mess and the time is worth it to enjoy your homemade pasta.

This is a basic pasta dough recipe. I cut the pasta dough into lasagna noodles but this dough works for any type of pasta.

I use the KitchenAid pasta attachment and this pasta drying rack to help me with this. It helps get your sheets of dough thin enough and ready to cut. They also have different attachments to cut your pasta for you.

This is one of our homemade Lasagna dishes. Smoked Oxtail Lasagna with the homemade lasagna noodles. SO good!

Try this Classic Italian Lasagna with the homemade lasagna noodles. Yum!

Instructions

Pour flour out onto a clean table or a large cutting board. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add oil and eggs.
Whisk eggs with a fork incorporating a little more flour each time. Gently keep stirring until you work the dough into a ball.
Press down and fold the dough over on itself. Work the dough into a ball again and wrap in plastic wrap. Let dough rest in the fridge for an hour.
Remove dough from plastic wrap and cut in thirds. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out about 1/4 inch thick.
Use your KitchenAid Stand Mixer and Pasta Sheet Roller Attachment on the lowest setting and run pasta through. Adjust the setting up one notch each pass through. I go to setting number 5 for lasagna. (The real trick here is to get the pasta dough to the right consistency to pass through the maker. This takes a little practice. Don’t get frustrated.)
When dough is rolled out, use a pizza cutter and cut dough into lasagna like sheets.
When all pasta is cut, let it hang on a pasta rack or something similar to dry while you boil your water.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. When water reaches a boil, season with some salt.
Add pasta a little at a time. Cook for about 2 minutes. Remember, homemade pasta cooks way quicker than the dried store-bought stuff so keep a close eye out.
When pasta is done cooking, assemble your lasagna.
