how to make Gordon Ramsay Homemade Pasta

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. Make the Dough Base: On a clean surface, pile the flour and form a well in the center. Add the eggs, olive oil, and salt into the well.

  2. Mix and Form Dough: Use a fork to slowly incorporate the flour into the eggs. Then mix with your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth. If it feels too dry, add a few drops of water. If it’s sticky, dust with flour.

  4. Rest the Dough: Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

  5. Divide and Flatten: Cut the rested dough into 4 pieces. Take one piece and flatten it into a small oval.

  6. Roll the Dough: Pass the flattened piece through a pasta machine on setting 1 three times. Then fold it into thirds and roll again through settings 2 and 3 (three times each). Finally, roll once on settings 4, 5, and 6.

  7. Flour and Store Sheets: Lay the rolled pasta sheets on a floured baking sheet. Dust them lightly with flour and fold them. Repeat this step with the remaining pieces of dough.

  8. Cut the Pasta: Use a cutter to shape the pasta as desired, for example, into fettuccine.

  9. Cook the Pasta: Boil the cut pasta in salted water for 1–2 minutes until it’s al dente. Drain and serve immediately.

  • Use high-quality flour for the best taste and texture.

variation

You can add spinach or beetroot to the dough to make colored pasta. Just blend the vegetables and mix them in with the eggs before forming the dough!

FAQs

  1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
    Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the texture might differ. You may need to adjust the water content.

  2. How do I know when the pasta is done cooking?
    The pasta is done when it floats to the top and is tender but still firm to the bite (al dente).

  3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
    Absolutely! You can prepare and rest the dough up to a day in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator wrapped tightly.
