30 minutes
Egg dough for pasta is the heart of traditional Italian cuisine, the foundation for many types of pasta, from tagliatelle to ravioli. This recipe dates back to ancient times when pasta masters in Italy used simple yet quality ingredients. Its velvety texture and golden hue come from the use of egg yolks, giving the finished dish a rich flavor and elasticity. After a short rest in the fridge, the dough becomes elastic and easy to roll out, and pasta made from it pairs wonderfully with any sauces, from delicate cream to spicy tomato. Such dough is a true classic that delights gourmets around the world.
