Vegetable lasagne (home-made pasta)

We took the time to make our own pasta yesterday. With the dough we made some lasagne and some tagliatelle.


The following recipe for a basic pasta dough will produce enough to make lasagne for 4-6 people and a batch of tagliatelle for 2 people.

450g white flour
4 eggs
3 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
pinch of salt

1. Sift the flour in a bowl. Add the salt and make a well.
2. Stir the eggs and oil together and place in the center of the well.
3. With a wooden spoon, incorporate the egg mixture to the flour. When it becomes too hard to use the spoon, knead the dough thoroughly for 15-20 minutes until soft and smooth.


4. Place the dough in a bowl, cover it with cling film and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
5. Roll out the dough into thin layers or use a pasta machine.
