Fresh Pasta

Making pasta by hand is one of my favorite things to do in the kitchen, and these fresh pasta recipes will walk you through every step. If you’re just getting started, begin with my guide to Homemade Pasta with just eggs and flour, then try a rich, golden Egg Yolk Pasta Dough for tagliatelle, pappardelle and lasagna, or a simple Semolina Pasta Dough made with just flour, water and salt. From there, shape it by hand, no machine needed: Homemade Orecchiette from Puglia, thick Tuscan Hand-Rolled Pinci Pasta, and more traditional regional shapes. And when you’re ready for a project, make delicate Ricotta Agnolotti or light, pillowy Homemade Potato Gnocchi with just two ingredients.
