There are many slight variations in homemade fresh pasta recipes, this is one of the easiest methods - follow it and you'll be making fantastic pasta in no time!

Ingredients: (enough for 2 people)

1 cup plain flour 1 large egg 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon water 1/4 teaspoon salt

Step 1

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl or food processor and mix well, the dough should stick together if you press it with your fingers, the texture should be rather like uncooked rice. If it is too dry, you can add a little more water, or if it's too sticky add a little more flour.

Step 2

Mould the dough into a ball and leave it in the bowl, covered with a damp cloth, for around 10 minutes. The dust your worksurface with a little flour and knead the dough until it feels smooth, this should take 5-10 minutes.

Step 3

Now it's time to roll out the pasta. Set the pasta machine to its thickest setting. Take 1/3 of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin so it's thin enough to fit into the machine. Put the dough through the machine 3 times, turning and folding it each time. Turn the machine to its next setting (one notch thinner) and put the same piece of dough through the machine 3 times as before. Repeat this for all the width settings on the machine. The pasta will get thinner each time.

Step 4

By now you will have a long, smooth sheet of pasta. Place it on the table and cut it into your desired length, about 10 inches long. Sprinkle lightly with flour. Now pass the sheet of pasta through the cutters on the other side of the pasta machine. Set the width of the cut to your preference, for example a setting of 1/8" would give you linguini, 1/4" for fettucini. Turn the handle with one hand, using your other hand to catch the finished pasta.

Step 5

Place the finished pasta on a clean tablecloth, trying to keep the strands as separate as possible. Allow it to dry for an hour or so.

To cook the pasta, add 1 tablespoon of salt to a large pan of boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips

The following tips will help you to make perfect homemade pasta every time:

Making coloured pasta is easy, simply add puréed tomato or spinach to the dough for red or green pasta. You can also make black pasta by adding squid ink. When letting the dough 'rest' before kneading it, make sure to cover the bowl with a damp cloth, or wrap the dough tightly in clingfilm so it doesn't dry out. There is no need to add oil to the pan when cooking your pasta. Stirring occasionally will prevent it from sticking. Don't cook your pasta for more than 3 minutes. Overcooking will ruin your pasta! Once cooked, eat it straight away with your preferred sauce, it should not be allowed to cool.

Fresh pasta is delicious and making your own pasta at home is rewarding and easy, and many people are choosing to make their own pasta for its superior taste compared to shop-bought varieties. The only piece of equipment you really need is a pasta machine (of course, you can use a rolling pin, but unless you're an expert the results will not be nearly so good). Most machines are designed to roll and cut the pasta dough, although there are some models on the market which will mix and knead the dough as well. Pasta machines are available two basic types: manual and automatic.

Manual Pasta Machine
Hand-operated pasta machines are nearly always much cheaper than the automatic type, expect to pay between 30 and 120 dollars (2009 prices). The trade-off of course is the additional effort you have to put in. That said, many people actually find the process of manually rolling the dough enjoyable. If you don't plan on making pasta very often, then a manual device might be a good choice. Look for a model which has a sturdy clamp allowing you to firmly anchor it to a table top. The unit should come with a good variety of cutters, a flat lasagne roller and allow at least 6 different  thickness settings. A stainless steel model is generally a better investment than a chrome plated one.

Automatic Machines
Most automatic pasta makers are essentially identical to manual ones, with an added motor; you just feed the pasta into the machine and it rolls and cuts it for you. Often these machines have 2 or more speed settings and can be used in manual mode as well. As with manual machines, look for a stainless steel model with a good range of attachments.

Special-Purpose Machines
The previous machines are capable of producing many different pasta types, such as spaghetti, lasagne, fettuccine, etc. If you want to make some other pasta varieties, then there are dedicated machines on the market. These include ravioli, gnocchi and cavetelle makers.

Using a Pasta Machine
Whether you use an automatic or manual machine, the process is essentially the same. You pass the dough through the machine on its thickest setting, fold it in half (sprinkling a little flour on if the dough is sticky), and pass it through again. After doing this half a dozen times, you set the machine to the next thinner setting and pass it through again; repeating the process until the pasta is at the desired thickness. After letting the dough rest for 10 minutes, you simply attach the appropriate cutter to the machine and pass the dough through once more to cut it.  

As you can see, it needn't be expensive or difficult to make pasta at home. All you need is a few cheap ingredients, a basic pasta machine, and a little bit of effort. The results can be truly delicious and rewarding!
