I am such a huge pasta lover that I have this fold childhood memories of my grandmother making it. God, those bites were like heaven. All the fresh ingredients: flour that they made from their wheat, eggs from their chicken and cheese from their cow. It can’t get any better, fresher or tastier even at the fanciest restaurant. Angel Hair Pasta From Scratch is my favorite and my mom makes the best one, I asked her to share the recipe!
There is a tradition in our family to make pasta from scratch. My grandparents still have their own chicken. She carefully saves those organics eggs and send it to my mom who lives in the city to enjoy.
So this pasta is shorter than your regular angel hair pasta, and this is because we don’t use any tools. Also, the pasta is cut by hand. It takes some time, but I find it very relaxing. In addition, to me the little unevenness adds more charm and character to this angel hair pasta from scratch.
I also highly recommend using eggs from organic grass fed chickens. Similarly, you can totally taste the difference and as well see it in the color of the pasta.
The pasta stores perfectly for a few months. Usually in a closed paper box, in a dry place. It can be used in so many recipes, in delicious chicken noodle soups, as a side dish, or as a main dish with some sauce and your favorite cheese!
All I can say is bravo! BRAVO! I am SUPER impressed you made angel hair pasta BY HAND and that it is all hand-cut. Girl, that is completely impressive. And, I have to tell you - I can almost taste the flavor difference from here, because it looks incredible. Pinned!
Thanks so much Kristin, you are right the difference is huge, going back to store bought is almost impossible after you taste this homemade deliciousness. Thanks for the Pin :)
I attended a pasta making lesson and I told myself after the lesson that I will never make pasta at home until I get a pasta machine, but look at you! This pasta looks so amazing and I can only imagine the huge amount of hard work that goes into rolling the pasta paper thin. When I'm brave enough to do it, I'll definitely come back to your blog!
Hi Jasline, yes rolling the pasta sheet to paper thin, takes some strong arms, but that's why I have my husband :) he would gladly roll it, since he knows how good dinner will be!
*Virtual high-five* for making your own angel hair pasta! I absolutely love homemade pasta, and I've made several different varieties...but I've never made angel hair before! Totally pinning this to make sometime soon. Thanks!!
Wow! Amazing! I have to admit, though, I “cheated” and used a pasta roller. It was quite difficult to get “paper thin” by hand. It turned out delicious, though! I will DEFINITELY make this again, no questions asked. Would definitely recommend!
