Description

This is a simple and delicious recipe for making sourdough pasta from scratch using basic ingredients like flour, eggs, salt, and sourdough starter. The dough is kneaded, rested in the fridge to develop flavor, then rolled out and cut into noodles before boiling. This pasta has a unique fermented tang and can be made in advance or frozen for convenient meals.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 250g all-purpose (AP) flour or 00 flour
  • 2 eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • 110g sourdough starter or discard

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the flour and salt to a bowl or your work surface and make a well in the center. Gently whisk the eggs in a small bowl, then pour the eggs and sourdough starter into the flour well.
  2. Incorporate Wet and Dry: Using a fork, gently start to incorporate the wet ingredients into the flour by stirring from the center outwards until the mixture begins to form a dough.
  3. Knead the Dough: Once the dough comes together, use your hands to knead it on the counter until smooth, about 5 to 10 minutes. The dough should be elastic and ready to rest.
  4. Rest the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 to 4 days. The longer it rests, the more fermented and sour the flavor becomes.
  5. Roll and Cut the Dough: Remove the dough from the fridge and divide it into 4 portions. Lightly flour each piece and roll out thinly into long sheets by hand or using a pasta machine. Cut the sheets lengthwise with a pizza cutter or sharp knife to your preferred noodle width, or use a pasta machine for cutting.
  6. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh sourdough pasta and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. Drain the pasta and use it in your favorite pasta dishes.

Notes

  • You can make the pasta dough up to 4 days in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to cook.
  • This pasta dough works well when made in larger batches, rolled out, sliced, and frozen. Simply cook from frozen for quick sourdough pasta meals.
