You would cook the noodles first if you had made homemade noodles.

So, I have one question. If you make noodles for lasagna, should you cook them before you assemble, or will they actually cook in the sauce in the oven? Common sense tells me that they’ll cook in the sauce, but a lasagna would be an expensive test to try it out on.

Any recipies for egg-less pasta by chance? We have food allergies here.

Great post, homemade pasta is so much better than the dried stuff we buy at the store.

One quick tip I learned the hard way: After you cut the pasta generously add more flour to keep the pieces from sticking. Once they stick together it’s hard to pull them apart and if you try to boil it stuck together you’ll just end up with a doughy mess.

For Thanksgiving and Christmas I often make homemade egg noodles. I have always mixed and cut them by hand.

However, I have also made lasagna noodles. I has the pasta roller attachment for the KA mixer. My set came with the roller attachment for making flat sheets. After you roll them to the desired thickness you can leave them in flat sheets for lasagna or it also has 2 cutters for making long noodles like fettucine.

If you want to make noodles in the future, I think the roller/cutter combo is better than the extruder that you have. My mom has the extruder and she doesn’t like it either.
