🍝 Homemade Lasagna Sheets

Fresh • Silky • Perfectly Tender

Nothing compares to fresh homemade pasta. These lasagna sheets are soft, rich, and cook beautifully in layered dishes. With just four simple ingredients, you can elevate your lasagna to restaurant-quality.


🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250g)

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15ml)

  • ½ teaspoon salt (3g)


👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make a Flour Well

Place the flour on a clean surface and form a well in the center.

2️⃣ Add Wet Ingredients

Crack the eggs into the well. Add olive oil and salt.

3️⃣ Mix

Using a fork, gently beat the eggs while gradually pulling flour from the sides into the center.

4️⃣ Knead

Once the mixture thickens, begin kneading with your hands.
Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth, elastic, and slightly firm.
✔️ It should feel soft but not sticky.

5️⃣ Rest

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
(This relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier.)

6️⃣ Divide

Cut the dough into 3–4 portions.

7️⃣ Roll Thin

Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll each portion very thin — slightly translucent but not tearing.

8️⃣ Cut

Trim into straight rectangular lasagna sheets with clean edges.

9️⃣ Prepare to Use

Lightly dust with flour.
Use immediately or allow to dry slightly before assembling your lasagna.


💡 Pro Tip for Richer Color & Texture

For deeper yellow color and a richer texture, use:
2 whole eggs + 2 extra egg yolks
