Homemade Lasagna Noodles Recipe
Fresh, homemade lasagna noodles made from scratch! Learn how to make these tender, flavorful noodles with simple ingredients for your next lasagna masterpiece.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Water (as needed)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, create a well with the flour and crack the eggs into the center. Add olive oil and salt.
- Gradually mix the flour into the eggs, then knead the dough by hand for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes to relax.
- Once rested, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/16 inch thick, or use a pasta machine for even rolling.
- Cut the dough into lasagna-sized sheets.
- If using immediately, layer fresh noodles directly into your lasagna. For storage, refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
Notes
- You can swap half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber and a nutty flavor.
- For spinach noodles, blend spinach into the eggs before mixing.
- If you don't have a pasta machine, a rolling pin works fine.
