Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Pasta Drying Stand
  • Pasta Cutter Bike

Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups 00 flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp rock salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

STEP 1. Make the Dough

  • Sift the flour, make a volcano on a work surface and add the eggs and salt. Start whisking and incorporating the flour as you whisk.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6 to 8 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Cover it in a plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.

STEP 2. Roll out the dough

  • Divide the dough in 4 parts and start rolling them from the center to the outer edges with the help of a rolling pin (see notes).

STEP 3. Cut the dough into lasagna noodles

  • With a pasta cutter- bike, proceed by cutting the dough. Make a firm pressure and once your dough has been cut, divide each lasagna individually. Place them to dry on a pasta drying stand.

STEP 4. Cook the Lasagna

  • Bring a pot to boil and when boiling add the rock salt. Cook the lasagna for 8 to 10 minutes until al dente.
  • Remove them with a slotted spoon, drain them in a colander and rinse them gently under running cold water until they are cold (see notes).
  • Place the lasagna over a clean linen towel, to absorb the excess of water. At this point, you are ready to use your lasagna noodles to layer your lasagna with your favorite ingredients.

Notes

  • Use a wooden rolling pin, well-floured, it will prevent the dough to stick to it while you are rolling it out.
  • This recipe yields 1 pound of pasta, ideal for 4 servings as a main course or for 6 serving as first serving.
  • Alternatively, when you remove them with the colander you could place them in iced water, which will keep them al dente.
