How to Make Sourdough Pasta
Learn how to make sourdough pasta with this easy, step-by-step guide. Discover tips, dough variations, and how to roll, cut, and cook the perfect pasta.
Ingredients
- 300 g Tipo 00 or all-purpose flour
- 165 g eggs about 3 large eggs
- 40 g active sourdough starter or sourdough discard
- Olive oil optional, for adjusting egg weight
- Semolina flour for dusting
Instructions
- Whisk eggs and sourdough starter together in a small bowl.
- Add flour to a food processor or stand mixer and pour in the egg mixture.
- Process until the dough begins to form, about 10-15 seconds. If needed, pinch the dough together and continue processing until it forms a rough ball.
- Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes by hand or in the stand mixer until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Roll the dough into thin sheets and cut into desired pasta shape.
- Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2-7 minutes, depending on thickness.
Notes
- Use bubbly, active sourdough starter for the best flavor.
- If the egg weight is insufficient, add a bit of olive oil to balance.
- For a longer fermentation option, allow the dough to rest for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
