Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough:
- In a food processor, combine flour and salt. Pulse briefly.
- Weigh eggs, then add them with the water to total 185 grams of liquid. Whisk them together.
- Slowly add the egg mixture to the flour while the processor runs. It should form coarse crumbs and then clump into a ball within a minute.
- If too sticky, add one tablespoon of flour; if too dry, add water drop by drop.
Knead the Dough:
- After the dough forms, knead it by hand on a floured surface for about 5 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to rest.
Roll the Dough:
- Divide dough into four equal pieces. Flatten one portion into a half-inch disc.
- Use a pasta roller to roll the dough starting from the widest setting. Fold like a business letter, then run it through 2-3 more times until smooth.
- Gradually reduce the thickness by rolling through narrower settings until the sheet is thin (about 1/8-inch).
Prepare the Lasagna:
- Layer a thin layer of sauce (meat, vegetable, or vegan) at the bottom of your baking dish.
- Place a sheet of pasta over the sauce. Add sauce, cheese (ricotta, mozzarella), and any other fillings you prefer.
- Repeat the layering process with pasta, sauce, and cheese, finishing with a final layer of sauce and cheese.
Bake the Lasagna:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 15-30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- If you don't have a pasta roller, you can use a rolling pin for hand-rolled pasta sheets.
- Store the uncooked pasta in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.
- This recipe is versatile, allowing you to use a variety of sauces, from classic meat ragù to vegan lentil ragù.
