Home-made lasagna sheets

It's out of sheer frustration of using store bought lasagna sheets that I figured I should attempt to make myself one. Mind you it's a little time consuming but that outweighs how good the home made version taste and it's so easy to make and so much cheaper too.

All you need is a rolling pin, a working space and muscle power to work the rolling pin. Well if you have a pasta roller then that"s fantastic.. it does safe you a lot of work!

3 cup all-purpose flour - a little extra for dusting

3 whole eggs

¼ teaspoon salt

Some water

 In a bowl, add the flour, salt, and mix.

Add the eggs and mix well, when the ingredients are combined start kneading.

You will need to knead this dough for at least three minutes.

You may need to add more flour, in this case, add a tablespoon at a time. In cases, your dough is too dry, add one to two tablespoon of water. In both cases, the dough should hold together and not be sticky.

After kneading the dough cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

                                     

Now the dough will have a softer texture since it rested, and is ready to be rolled.

Keep some extra flour on the side for dusting.

Cut the dough in half, roll out one-half until thin. You should able to almost see your fingers through it.

Now cut the rolled out dough into your desired sheet size or shape. Measured the dish size you're using and cut accordingly.

Leave the sheets to dry for half an hour. Don't cover it, just leave it air dry.

In a pan boil enough water to cover the pasta sheets, season with salt, add the lasagna sheets in the boiling water, and let it cook for 5 minutes. Don't over crown, two sheets at a time, depending on your pan.

Drain the lasagna sheets on a kitchen towel and now you can use them in making lasagna. 

Done. Easy ha.

Enjoy...jue
