Homemade Pasta Recipe (Vegan)

Pour lukewarm water and olive oil into the well. Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.

Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes to make a soft and smooth dough. Add more water if the dough is too dry OR add more flour if the dough is too sticky.

Form the dough into a ball and cover in plastic wrap.

Chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes.

After refrigeration, cut the dough in half and place one portion onto a lightly floured surface. 

Use a rolling pin or pasta maker to roll the dough out very thin, approximately 1/8 inch thick. 

Dust the top of the rolled-out dough with more flour, and using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into long, thin strips. This will be about ¼ inch in width. 

Loosely take 10 strands of pasta to form nests and set them aside.

Continue this process until both dough halves are made into pasta nests.

To cook, boil a large pot with salted water. 

Add the pasta and cook until floating + tender. This will be approximately 3 – 4 minutes.

Serve with your favorite sauce, cheese, or pesto!
