Can we have a heart to heart? I know I was scared to make my own pasta for too long. If you're like me, I totally get it. But now, I'm no longer scared and I actually feel dumb that I was so scared for so long. With the help of my stand mixer and the KitchenAid pasta attachment, it made it much easier for me to get it done and make pasta so quickly.
I texted this picture to a friend and she said you're obsessed now right? Yes, I'm obsessed and I keep trying different flours. I can't wait to share more with you what I'm making.
I made a quick two minute video on how easy it is to make homemade pasta with KitchenAid. If you like the video after watching it, do you mind giving it a thumbs up? I totally appreciate it!!
Kitchen Tools I used for this recipe:
- White Marble Pastry Board (I own two of these!)
- KitchenAid® Pro Line® 7-Quart Stand Mixer (Sur la Table)
- KitchenAid® Pasta Roller Set (Sur la Table)
This is a really short post because like I said, I hope you'll watch the video and say oh my goodness, it's so easy, I want to try it right now!! And come back later this week, I'll have a KitchenAid surprise for you!
Recipe is Slightly modified from KitchenAid Pasta Attachment Manual.

Homemade Pasta Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour, sifted (plus extra flour for preparing)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 2 Tablespoons water
Instructions
- Place eggs, water, flour and salt in mixer bowl. Attached bowl and flat beater. Turn to speed 2 and mix for 30 to 60 seconds. Add more water if the dough is too dry, in 1/2 Tablespoon increments.
- Change out the flat beater for the dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and knead for 2 minutes. Remove the dough and knead by hand for 2 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cut dough into four pieces before processing with pasta sheet attachment. Take one piece and flatten into a rectangular shape. Adding flour to both sides. Be sure to cover the other pieces. Attach the pasta sheet roller to your stand mixer and set it to #1. Turn on the stand mixer to speed 2 and run the pasta dough through the pasta sheet roller. While on #1, fold the dough in half and run it through again. I do this several times.
- Adding a little bit of flour on each side of the dough again, change setting to #2 and pass the pasta dough through the sheet roller. I do this twice and then twice each on #3 and then #4. If you want thicker dough, don't do the #4 setting.
- Once again, add flour to each side of your long pasta sheet. Change the attachment to your spaghetti or fettuccine cutter and turn on to speed 2. Run the pasta sheet through and with your left hand, hold on to the pasta as it comes through the cutter. It's usually really long so I cut it and then wind it around my hand to create a nest. Allow pasta to dry for a few minutes before boiling.
- When boiling your pasta, it only needs 3 to 7 minutes to boil.
- With this pasta recipe, I prefer the fettuccine cutter.

We have made this recipe over 20 times – we love it! A few notes:
• After the first time making it, we realized that forming it into nests wasn’t a good idea. They dried before we unraveled it and they were a clumpy mess. Now we have a pasta rack (pictured) and it works perfectly! We even used clothes hangers before we had the pasta rack and those worked fine too.
• We typically have to add more water after we mix it. I’d say we use anywhere from 1-3 extra TB of water depending on how the dough feels.
• Most times the dough doesn’t come together with the KitchenAid dough hook. It can be very crumbly. We have to knead it by hand for a while longer until the dough forms.
• Otherwise, we follow the recipe to a T! We do the sheet roller as listed and cook it for about 5 minutes when it’s done.
We’ve made this recipe in different kitchens – even different states! We do notice a slight difference in the dough depending on where we make it, so we just feel it out as we go. Sometimes it feels like the dough won’t work and want to give up, but we always keep working and kneading and it ALWAYS turns out! You will love 🙂 thanks for the recipe!

Awesome recipe. I added a bit of olive oil but other than that your recipe and. Ideo were perfect. I used the pasta dough to make lasagna for a volunteer organization I’m a part of. Thank you. FYI, I don’t boil the pasta sheets before assembling the lasagna. They cook beautifully while the lasagna bakes in the oven!

Thanks for the video! I made egg noodles for the very first time. Your video details made it seem so simple and it was. I just got some semolina flour to use, but the dusting flour I used my regular flour. Can’t wait to taste, I’m making Very Good Casserole aka Tallarene.

Came out great! Like the other comment, used more water but that’s how it goes.
Louise Gagne says
Very easy to make, and my husband just loved the taste and texture of the pasta. I am gluten intolerant, so was unable to eat it, but he loved it and that’s what counts!
Thank you for the great recipe.
Don says
I use this recipe for all my fresh pasta.
Jennifer says
I loooove this recipe and about to make it for my 4th time. I really appreciate that the actual # of speed for the mixer needed is listed. I tend to use a bit more water but other than that it’s spot on!
MDC says
I’m new to pasta making, and didn’t want a recipe that was too complicated or one where I had to add yeast and let the dough rise. This one rocked! Simple, fast and easy recipe! The directions were great. I made fettuccine with pesto sauce and it tasted wonderful! I’ll definitely make it again.
Sue says
Yummy! Would this recipe also work for a tube pasta attachment?
Amy says
I’m trying that today! I don’t see why it wouldn’t.
