Homemade Fettuccine

I decide to try and make homemade pasta and ended up with making Fettuccine.  It was alot of work but the recipe is easy.  The work was rolling out the dough.  I found a trick to cutting it so it was easier than I had thought.  It tasted really fresh and we used it to make two meals that week.  I will post both of them this week.



Homemade Fettuccine

 

I started making the homemade Fettuccinee by taking 2 cups of flour and making a well with it. I put 3 eggs into the well along with ½ tsp of Salt and stirred it by hand.

 

When it was mixed I added ½ tsp of Olive oil, covered it with plastic and put it in the refrigerator for atleast 4 hours. 

 

After it sat for 4 hours I took it out and split it in half so it was easier to roll out.

 

Once rolled out the fettuccine dough very thin then I rolled up the dough. 

 

I cut small pieces off the end and unraveled them.  Behold there was the Homemade Fettuccine.

 I then boiled Fettuccine for about 5 minutes.   You don't want to cook it too much because if you add sauce it will continue to cook and you don't want it mushy.

 

 

 

I drained the Homemade Fettuccine and put it in the refrigerator for the next day when I made an Alfredo sauce and red sauce.  That will be posted later this week.

 

 Enjoy
