Four Ingredient Pasta
Making pasta from scratch may sound intimidating, but it's surprisingly simple—and the benefits are worth it. By using just four ingredients—flour, water, olive oil, and salt—you have complete control over what goes into your pasta, avoiding preservatives and additives often found in store-bought varieties. You can even customize the dough with herbs or other flavors for a unique twist.
Fresh pasta also has a superior taste and texture compared to dried, store-bought options. It absorbs sauces better, making each bite richer and more flavorful. Plus, the process is easier than you think. With just 30 minutes of prep time, you can have homemade pasta ready to cook, and the hands-on experience is both satisfying and fun.
Lastly, making your own pasta gives you the opportunity to create a healthier version by choosing your preferred ingredients, whether that’s whole-wheat flour or gluten-free alternatives. So next time you’re reaching for a box of dried pasta, consider trying homemade—you'll be amazed at how simple and delicious it is!
