How to Make Homemade Pasta Without Machine _ Italian Grandma Cooking

In this video , an Italian grandma will show us how to make fresh .

This recipe will serve about four .

Lulu will show us how to stretch fresh pasta by hand .

Without a machine to make Talia tele pasta , we will need three whole eggs , about 300 g of flour and about a teaspoon of olive oil .

The general rule of thumb for making fresh homemade pasta is about one egg per 100 g of flour depending on the size of the eggs .

Here , Lulu has removed a little bit of the 300 g of flour until she can determine how much flour is needed for three whole eggs to make fresh homemade pasta by hand , make a well in the flour and add the three eggs in the center of the well , beat the eggs by hand using a fork , pulling in a little bit of flour at a time from the sides like this .

When the eggs are no longer running , you can begin to mix the pasta dough by hand , making fresh homemade pasta by hand .

Without a machine means you need to need the pasta dough as well .

It's good exercise and our Italian grandma is a real pro here .

Lulu is saying that indeed these three eggs were rather small and so she won't be needing to add the remainder of the flour because the fresh pasta dough is already the right consistency .

Lulu explains that , you know , you're done eating when the pasta dough is smooth to the touch , it doesn't stick to your hands .

And when you push on the pasta dough , it should be firm enough to spring back like this cover with plastic wrap and let the fresh homemade pasta rest for at least a half an hour .

After the rest , she'll show how to stretch the pasta dough to make after the pasta dough has rested for at least a half an hour .

It's time to stretch .

The dough makes a lot of fresh homemade pasta by hand without a machine for her family .

But Talia pasta has to be one of the most impressive over the next two minutes .

We'll watch Lulu stretch this pasta dough to a thickness of less than one millimeter using only this large rolling .

We'll show this in real time so that you can understand exactly how to stretch the pasta like this at home .

223.6 --> 297.369

But this pasta still isn't quite thin enough for when stretching pasta .

This thin .

It's common for tiny holes to develop .

If you see a hole simply pinch it together and keep stretching as Lulu shows here .

Another common problem when stretching , fresh pasta by hand is developing wrinkles in the pasta dough .

Not a problem , just stress the wrinkle out and continue stretching the pasta .

395.75 --> 470.7

Now , Lulu lets the pasta dry for 5 to 10 minutes .

Italian grandmas are resourceful after the homemade pasta has dried slightly .

It's time to cut the pasta into the ideal whip for Tale noodles should be seven millimeters since pasta always swells when cooking the cooked pasta will be about eight millimeters in width .

Transfer the cut pasta to a paper towel or parchment paper covered with semolina flour that and toss the pasta with semolina as well to prevent sticking .

Semolina is a much coarser flour which keeps the pasta from sticking together without compromising the pasta's texture .

You are cooking the pasta immediately you'll want to portion it out .

Lulu creates four portions .

Lulu says that Tale pasta freezes really well .

Just portion it out on a flat surface and place it into a freezer uncovered for a few hours .

Once frozen , you can cover it better with plastic or something similar cook pasta in boiling water just as you would , any kind of pasta .

If we cook the pasta right now , after it was freshly made , it would only take about a minute if we let the pasta dry for a day .

Lulu says to add about 30 seconds to the cook time .

If you're cooking frozen tale pasta , it still should take no longer than two minutes .
