There's nothing like the rich, comforting flavors of a perfectly made Italian pasta dish. This authentic Italian pasta recipe with homemade sauce is a simple, yet elegant, way to bring a taste of Italy straight to your home. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create fresh pasta from scratch and pair it with a savory, tomato-based sauce that’s bursting with flavor. Whether you're preparing for a family dinner, a special occasion, or just craving something hearty and delicious, this dish is sure to satisfy. Let the authentic Italian cooking traditions inspire your next meal!
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and crack 2 eggs into it. Using a fork, whisk the eggs and slowly mix in the flour until it forms a dough. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface. Use a rolling pin or pasta machine to roll it as thin as possible. Once it’s thin, cut the dough into strips of your desired pasta shape (like fettuccine or tagliatelle).
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, then add the chopped tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional sugar. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add fresh basil towards the end for a burst of flavor.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in your fresh pasta and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the pasta floats to the surface.
Drain the pasta and toss it in the pan with your sauce. Add a little pasta water if the sauce needs to be thinned out. Stir to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve immediately with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a garnish of fresh basil. Enjoy your homemade Italian feast!
