Homemade pasta is so versatile in terms of colors and taste. One of my favorite variations is lemon pasta. Lemon pasta goes so well with numerous dishes and adds a wonderful fresh burst of lemon without being overpowering. Enjoy!
Lemon Fettuccine Noodles
- 2-1/4 Cups Flour
- 3 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1-2 Tablespoons Water (if necessary)
- 1 Lemon
- Dash of Salt
Combine flour and salt in mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle of the flour.
In a small bowl put eggs, zest of 1 lemon, juice of 1 lemon and whisk lightly.
Add to the middle well of flour the egg mixture, olive oil, and water (if necessary). Add flour or extra water to dough as needed – consistency should not be sticky. With beater attachment, beat on low for 1 minute. Switch to dough hook and mix for 6 minutes. Take dough and cover in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Make pasta into desired shape and be prepared for a taste sensation.

YAY! I was hoping you’ll upload this recipe soon ~ I’ve never made pasta in my life… not sure if this is a little hard la but i’m still going to try! Thanks for sharing!
yum!! 😀
Wow!!! These look wonderful Cheryl. Well done!!
Thanks Tia! I love that pasta is so adaptable! The lemon fettuccine are my favorite.
Love it!
Thanks!
Thank you for the recipe.
You’re very welcome.
You are so energetic! and this looks soooo good.
Thanks Sherry! They are great … and some days I am more energetic than others!
This looks SO wonderful! I’m definitely going to give them a try today or tomorrow! I have some nice shrimp in the freezer that would just LOVE to be served with these!
As an aside… do you ever use durum semolina in your pastas? If so, do you mix it with all-purpose?
Hi 🙂 Thank you so much. Let me know if you like the lemon fettuccine. That would go awesome with the shrimp! I’ve never used durum semolina in my pasta – I’ve seen it in many recipes though and read that it is good for making pasta dough. I started making pasta with one recipe and it worked, it was great, so I never tried any others.
This looks completely phenomenal! I must try it!
Thank you! I think you’ll like it!
Trying this out for my next fettuccine dish. Thanks! Lemon makes everything brighter 😀
Thank you – yes, lemon does make everything brighter! 🙂
We have a pasta maker thing but its gathering dust….
Ahhh … I have some of those things that are collecting dust, but not my pasta making equipment! Time for you to dust off the dustbunnies and make some pasta.
I’m going to give this a try:) Thanks for sharing:)
You’re very welcome. Let me know how you like it.
That’s so delicious looking! I’m a huge fan of making my own pasta, so I’ll have to try this sometime!
Thank you so much! Give it a try, I think you’ll love it!
What a wonderful idea. I would pair this with a simple clam sauce.
Thank you, I think it would go well with a clam sauce.
There is nothing on earth quite like homemade fresh pasta. Great post.
Thank you! I couldn’t agree more! Once I started making homemade pasta there was no turning back – I can’t buy pasta in the store any more.
I want this so bad right now (and its only 8am). I’m imagining with roasted thyme veggies (asparagus, zucchini, cherry tomatoes) and just a little olive oil and asiago… I should go find breakfast.
Also, this makes me sad that my mom got rid of her pasta machine all those years ago. She isn’t a big cook and I wasn’t into cooking that much yet, so to the donation pile it went. So sad now!
Lol … 8:00 a.m. and time for pasta! Your idea sounds great! Pasta is the one thing I can create my own recipes for. For some reason I’m not that good at coming up with other recipes on my own. That is sad that your mom’s pasta machine is gone … I’ve done that before when I’ve been in a clearing out mode and given stuff away and then sometime later I am looking for it and remember it’s gone!
Never heard of lemon pasta but it sounds interesting — I’ll give it a try!
Let me know how you like it … I think it is wonderful!
oh man, if I wasn’t gluten-free, I would be ALL up on this. Sounds so good!!
Thanks so much!
