HANDMADE LASAGNA SHEETS
There's nothing quite like lasagna made with thin, silky sheets of fresh pasta. The noodles absorb the sauces as the dish bakes, and everything separate becomes one. Each bite will melt in your mouth. When rolling out the dough, sprinkle generously with flour to prevent sticking. And if you can't cook the pasta right away, make sure to spread flour abundantly between each sheet because the longer it sits, the more it will threaten to stick back together. If after assembling the lasagna you are left with uncooked sheets of pasta, cut them into noodles, toss with flour, and freeze on a baking sheet in a single layer before transferring into a freezer bag. Freeze for up to a month, and to cook, just drop into boiling, salted water.

Steps:
- Mound the flour in the center of a large mixing bowl. Dig a well in the center of the mound and add the whole eggs and 5 yolks. Using a fork, beat together the eggs and begin to incorporate the flour, starting with the inner rim of the well. The dough will start to come together in a shaggy mass when about half the flour is incorporated.
- Use your fingers to continue to mix the dough. Press any loose bits of flour into the dough. If needed, add another egg yolk or a tablespoon of water to absorb all of the flour.
- Once the dough comes together into a cohesive mass, remove it from the bowl and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough by hand until smooth, elastic and uniform in color, 4 to 5 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic and set aside at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.
- Cut off a quarter of the dough. Rewrap the larger portion and set aside. Use the heel of your hand to flatten the small piece of dough into an oval approximately the same width as your pasta machine, about 6 inches wide. Set the rollers to their widest setting and pass the dough through.
- Lay the dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board or countertop and neatly press together into halves, so it's again about the same width of the pasta machine. Feed the pasta through again at the widest setting. Think of these first rollings as an extended kneading. Continue to fold the dough in thirds and roll it until it is smooth, silky and even-textured. Do your best to make the sheet the full width of the machine.
- Once the dough is silky and smooth, you can begin to roll it out more thinly. Roll it once through each of the next two or three settings, adding flour as needed, until the dough is about 1/4-inch thick.
- Once the pasta is about 1/4-inch thick, begin rolling it twice through the next thinner settings. As you roll, lightly sprinkle flour on both sides of the pasta to prevent it from sticking to itself.
- Roll out pasta until you can just see the outline of your hand when you hold it under a sheet, about 1/16-inch thick. (On most machines, you won't make it to the thinnest setting.)
- Cut pasta into sheets, about 13 inches long. Dust the sheets lightly with flour, stack on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a clean, lightly dampened kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining dough.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl with a slotted spoon and reserve the drippings in the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic to the pan. When the garlic begins to brown at the edges, about 1 minute, add the tomatoes with their juices, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes.
- Mix the ricotta, egg, milk, basil, 1/2 cup of the grated Parmesan, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Spread 2/3 cup of the tomato sauce across the bottom of an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan. Next, space out 6 lasagna noodles on top of the sauce, turning them to fit so there are 2 noodles across and 3 noodles down. (The noodles will expand when they cook.) Top the noodles with all of the ricotta mixture, all of the sausage, 2/3 cup tomato sauce, and half the shredded mozzarella. Add another layer of 6 lasagna noodles and top with the remaining sauce, mozzarella, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan.
- Lightly oil one side of a large piece of foil. Cover the pan with the foil, greased side down. Bake until the noodles are tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is very crusty and brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Steps:
- Place flour on a marble or wooden work surface. Make a well in the center and crack in eggs; add salt. Gently beat eggs using a fork, incorporating the surrounding flour, until mixture is runny. Bring remaining flour into the mixture using a bench scraper until dough forms a ball. Mix in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if dough feels too stiff.
- Knead dough with your hands by flattening the ball, stretching it, and folding the top towards the center. Turn 45 degrees and repeat until dough is soft and smooth, about 10 minutes.
- Shape dough into a ball. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Take one piece and flatten it a bit with your hands. Dust a work surface with flour and roll dough out using a rolling pin 5 to 6 times. Turn the dough 45 degrees and roll out again, 5 to 6 times. Keep rolling and turning in the same way until the dough is evenly very thin. When you hold up the dough, you should be able to see your fingers through it.
- Cut the pasta into rectangular sheets to fit your baking dish using a pastry wheel or a knife. Transfer lasagna sheets to a floured kitchen towel and let air-dry about 30 minutes before assembling.

Steps:
- Place flour and eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix until combined. Slowly add 3 tablespoons water, mixing until dough comes together in pebble-size pieces. Dough should be moist, but not wet or sticky (you may need to use more or less water to achieve consistency). Continue mixing 6 to 8 minutes. Cover dough with plastic wrap and transfer to refrigerator; refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Divide dough into six equal pieces. Set the rollers of a hand-crank or electric pasta machine at their widest opening. Working with one piece of dough at a time (and keeping remaining pieces covered), flatten dough with the palms of your hands and run it once through the machine. Fold the dough in half and run through the machine again. Repeat this step two or three times, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Now change the rollers of the pasta machine to the next decreasing setting, and roll out the dough once without folding. Keep rolling the sheet through the machine on decreasing settings until you have rolled it through the last (thinnest) setting. Transfer pasta to prepared baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat process with remaining pieces of dough. Cut lasagna sheets to fit pan and keep covered until ready to use.
HOMEMADE LASAGNA PASTA SHEETS
Found this in a magazine. It takes a while to make, but isn't home-made always better than store-bought? =) BTW, according to the magazine, the recipe calls for extra-large eggs, NOT jumbo eggs.

Steps:
- Sift both flours into a food processor and sprinkle salt over. Set aside.
- Whisk whole eggs in a small bowl, and then whisk in oil and water.
- With the food processor running, pour in the egg-oil mixture slowly.
- Add the egg yolk as the mixture begins to form into a ball.
- Process until the dough is a buttery color and forms into a smooth ball, which should take about 30 seconds. DO NOT OVER-MIX.
- Remove dough from food processor and knead it with your hands for a minute.
- Form it back into a ball. Wrap with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 - 30 minutes.
- Place dough on a lightly-floured surface and divide into four equal balls. Keep unused dough wrapped in plastic while you work, to prevent it from drying up.
- Lightly flour one of the dough balls and form into a disc.
- Feed it through a pasta machine roller set at the thickest setting (No. 1); repeat.
- Fold the dough strip into thirds or quarters to create a square.
- Feed the dough strip through the pasta machine six times, flouring as needed and decreasing thickness by one setting each time, ending at number 5 or 6, depending on the thickness desired.
- Cut dough into 13 inch long strips while soft.
- Dry strips on a rack or on a board for at least 15 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining 3 balls of dough.
- Use immediately. Or dry the strips completely (at least 24 hours) and store in a large re-sealable food storage bag for up to 3 days.
