How to make spaghetti from scratch

Ingredients:::

• 2 cups Flour

• 3 Eggs

• 1 tsp. Vegetable oil

• 3 tbsp. Water

Directions:::

Step 1: Sift the flour into a medium sized bowl and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well in the center and add the Vegetable oil. With a fork, gently begin mixing the flour into the eggs till it’s well incorporated. Drizzle the water little at a time and Knead the dough with your hand

Step 2: Place the dough on a flat board. To make it easier to roll out, divide the dough into several equal parts and place the unused dough into a bowl and cover with a wet towel. The next two steps can be done with a pasta machine or with a rolling pin by hand. For this post, i’d be using the hand method.

Step 3: Sprinkle the dough and surface with flour. Place the dough on the flat surface and roll out with a rolling pin. Try to keep the rolled out dough in rectangular form while also makeing sure it’s thin enough to almost see through. Remember that it has to be very thin because once you boil the pasta it’s going to increase in size.

Step 4: To cut the dough, sprinkle some flour over the surface of the rectangle. This is done to prevent the dough from sticking together once it’s rolled up. Roll up the rectangle shaped dough just like i rolledpancakes HERE. Once it’s rolled up, slice into thin strips and un-roll immediately because they have the tendency to stick together.

Step 5: Hang the spaghetti strips on a clean hanger and leave to dry overnight. Store in an airtight nylon or container till you’re ready to use.
