Ingredients
- 2unit de Egg
- 200grams de All-purpose flour
- 1pinch de Salt
Instructions
On a clean countertop, spread out the 200g of all-purpose flour and form a well in the center.
Place the 2 eggs into the well in the flour.
Carefully incorporate the flour into the eggs using your hands, mixing slowly until the ingredients begin to combine.
Dica: Patience is essential; the process may take 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth.
After kneading, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Dica: Resting is crucial so the dough can be rolled out later without breaking.
Remove the plastic wrap and cut the dough into sections for rolling.
Roll out the dough sections with a rolling pin or pasta machine, preferably starting with the thickest setting and progressively moving (2 to 3 times on each setting) until you reach your desired thickness. For lasagna, setting number 5 is suggested.
Dica: When using the machine, repeat the pass on each thickness level to ensure the dough doesn't tear.
Dust the countertop with flour and cut the dough into your desired size (e.g., use a cookie cutter for mini lasagna sheets).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Cook the freshly cut pasta pieces in the boiling water until they become pale and float to the surface.
Dica: As soon as the pasta floats, remove it immediately with a slotted spoon.
While the pasta cooks, prepare your casserole dishes by greasing them with tomato sauce and begin assembling the lasagna, layering the cooked pasta and sauce with your preferred filling (Bolognese, vegetarian, or cheese).
Dica: Have all components for assembly ready before you start cooking the pasta to speed up the process.
Finish assembling with a layer of sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with halved cherry tomatoes.
Place the lasagna in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through.
