75. Making Fresh Pasta at Home

Making fresh pasta at home is a simple yet rewarding process. First, combine flour and a few eggs in a large bowl, then mix them until they form a smooth dough. After kneading the dough for several minutes, cover it and let it rest. Meanwhile, prepare a tasty tomato sauce by heating olive oil in a pan and adding finely chopped onions and garlic. Once they turn soft, add crushed tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and a few fresh basil leaves. Simmer the sauce gently so the flavors can blend together. Roll out the dough until it’s thin, then cut it into long strips to form pasta ribbons. Finally, cook the pasta in boiling water and serve it with the fragrant tomato sauce on top.
